Sarasota University is excited to announce a new dual enrollment partnership with the Whole School Leadership Institute (WSL). Whole School Leadership Institute offers a transformative leadership framework grounded in Montessori values, systems thinking, and deep personal insight. Their focus on integrating self-awareness with school systems resonates powerfully with Sarasota University’s strengths-based and Montessori-informed approach to higher education.
Through this new partnership, students in the Whole School Leadership certificate program can now enroll at Sarasota University and earn up to 9 credit hours towards an advanced degree. This collaboration allows WSL participants to deepen their learning, receive graduate credit, and take purposeful steps toward completing a Montessori-focused Bachelor’s or Master’s degree, all while continuing to make a meaningful impact in the field of education.
As the first university to receive accreditation from the Montessori Accreditation Council for Teacher Education (MACTE), Sarasota University is proud to support Whole School Leadership students in advancing their educational journeys and making lasting contributions to the communities they serve.
