Clearwater, FL 33760

Description/Mission: Using a combination of Montessori-style

teaching and a visually oriented curriculum, Blossom Montessori

School for the Deaf educates deaf and hard of hearing children,

their hearing siblings and children of deaf adults (CODA)to prepare

them for a lifetime of success in the community. We believe all

communication is important and we accept the responsibility to

understand and to be understood by others. Because of this, we

focus on developing our students' skills in both American Sign

Language (ASL) and written English.

Blossom believes it is our responsibility to teach deaf and hard of

hearing children and to help their parents learn to communicate

effectively. We seek to provide an atmosphere conducive to

learning, using creative mechanisms that make it easier for

children to absorb both concrete and abstract concepts on a

variety of levels. A visual style of teaching, coupled with an

emphasis on high self-esteem and parental involvement plays a

http://www.blossomschool.org/


OSBD 1-800-356-6731

36

crucial role in the academic success of deaf and hard of hearing

children.

Blossom offers both Pre-school and School-age programs. Each

student's program is developed to meet their individual needs with

a focus on the development of social, academic, and practical life

skills. We believe partnerships with our students, their families and

the community are essential in accomplishing our mission.

Blossom Montessori is the only Montessori-based curriculum in the

state of Florida focusing on the education and success of deaf

students. Blossom is located in Clearwater, Florida and enjoys the

many benefits of the Tampa Bay Area.
