History

The Park Maitland School was founded in 1968 by Mrs. Nell Cohen. The school offered education to students Pre–K-4 through grade 6, until expanding to grades 8 and Pre–K-2 during the 2023–2024 school year.

In 2010, Park Maitland was voted a top private school for grades K-8 in the Orlando Magazine.[2][3]

Park Maitland School has supported charities and fundraisers in the Central Florida region.[4][5]

In 2023, Governor Ron DeSantis withheld state funding for vouchers to the school due to its alleged ties to the Chinese Communist Party.[6][7][8] The school denied the allegations; many parents rejected the claims and condemned DeSantis.[1][9] The decision was also criticized by students and alumni.[10]
