Students of many abilities attend The Willow School, from those who are gifted, to those students with learning disabilities – but what is most important to us is the family’s willingness to be engaged and the student’s desire to learn, improve, become self-empowered and full of self esteem.
At Willow we provide the best private school program to Vero Beach. One of the ways we do that is by offering exciting events to our students, families and the community all year long.
The Willow School is registered with the Department of Education and is in compliance with all of their requirements. This enables us to participate in Florida’s scholarship programs such as the Step Up for Students scholarship, a low income fund, and the McKay Scholarship fund for children with an Individual Education Plan.
