Orlando Montessori Bilingual Academy

Spanish Immersion Montessori Since 1997

Orlando Montessori Bilingual Academy has served Central Florida since 1997 as the region's only Montessori school offering full Spanish immersion in the classroom. The academy's Dean Road campus teaches children ages 3 through 12 across Primary and Elementary levels.

Programs by Age

OMBA divides students into three Montessori stages with Spanish woven throughout:
- Primary (ages 3–5): Spanish immersion foundation and pre-academics
- Lower Elementary (ages 6–9): bilingual literacy and math
- Upper Elementary (ages 9–12): bilingual science, writing, and projects
- Mixed-age Montessori classrooms in each level

What's Included

• Full Spanish immersion taught by native speakers
• Authentic Montessori materials and prepared environments
• Dual-language literacy in Spanish and English
• Physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development focus
• Small class sizes per Montessori tradition

Experience

OMBA suits Orlando families who want both Montessori pedagogy and genuine bilingualism — not just a weekly Spanish class. By elementary school students are working through academic content in both languages, graduating with fluency that comes from years of daily immersion rather than occasional exposure.
