Bilingual · English y Español
English and Spanish, every day.
SWREA is a bilingual school community. Children hear and use both English and Spanish throughout the day, and families can talk to us in whichever language is most comfortable at home.
In the classroom
Two languages, woven into the day
Young children learn languages best by living in them. So Spanish is not a subject squeezed into a timetable; it is part of how the room talks.
Every day, not once a week
Spanish is present daily, in morning meeting, stories, songs and the calendar, alongside English.
No experience needed
Children from English-only homes start from wherever they are. At five to ten years old, they pick it up faster than adults expect.
English grows too
Children who speak Spanish at home keep and strengthen it while building confident English for reading, writing and every other subject.
For families
Se habla español
A school only works when parents can ask anything. Spanish-speaking families can call, visit, apply and get help in Spanish.
Call or visit in Spanish
Puede llamar, visitarnos o hacer preguntas en español, y le responderemos en español.
Help with the scholarship
We walk families through the Step Up application in Spanish, so tuition is never a barrier because of a form.
A real advantage
In Kissimmee and across Central Florida, growing up fluent in English and Spanish opens doors for life.

More about life at SWREA
Kindness & leadership
Every child is known by name and adults are always close. Children learn to work in groups, solve problems together and look out for one another, and older students lead younger ones. Bullying has very little room to grow here.
Transportation
SWREA has partnered with a local student transportation organization that can help get your child to and from school. If drop-off or pick-up is the hard part, call the office and we will walk you through it.
Christian Montessori
Hands-on materials, mixed-age classrooms and an uninterrupted morning work cycle, with Christ at the center. Families in Kissimmee rarely get to choose both.
