NewGate School, the Lab School of The Montessori Foundation, is expanding and is seeking experienced Early Childhood and Elementary Montessori Guides beginning with the 2024/2025 school year.

Founded in 1984, NewGate is an independent, non-profit, international, college-preparatory Montessori school, home to 200 Montessori students from 18 months through the 12th grade.

Our Lower School has 120 students from 14 months through 6th grade. Our Lower School campus is a charming 5-acre former organic farm school. Classrooms are cottages with private gardens, shaded decks, mature trees, and the timeless beauty of old Florida.

Our Upper School has 80 students from grades 7 to 12. It is a 5-acre property surrounded by protected woodlands and was constructed as a Gold Level LEED certified building.

As a lab school, our faculty works with the Montessori Foundation in curriculum and program development.

Our home is beautiful Sarasota, Florida, one of the best places to live in the United States. Our students enjoy the vast cultural and environmental opportunities of this beautiful international city.

NewGate is accredited by AdvancED (SACS/CASI), the International Montessori Council (IMC), and is recognized as an International Baccalaureate World School for the IB Diploma Programme (grades 11 and 12).

NewGate is an international educational center of inspiration and support for Montessori schools around the world. In collaboration with the Montessori Foundation, the school is engaged in curriculum development, professional education for Montessori school administrators, and Montessori conferences.

Our Montessori teachers work in fully equipped Montessori classrooms with 24-30 students age six to nine or nine to twelve. Our buildings are cozy cottages with mature trees, large covered decks outside each classroom, and gardens. The school has playgrounds and fields.

We staff each class with either a Montessori educator and assistant teacher or two Montessori teachers.
