Built upon the Christian view of the person, a Royal Palm Academy education develops tomorrow’s leaders by focusing on four key areas:

Excellence in Education

Enrichment of Character

Development of Spirit

Commitment to Service

• Our student body measures in the top 15% of students nationally on their Standardized Test and scored on average two grade levels above their current grade.

• Low teacher to student ratios (1 teacher to 14 students on average) ensures individual attention.

• We believe in a collaborative strategy incorporating parents in their children’s education; our campus provides a nurturing and safe family environment which empowers children to develop a positive self image and love of learning.

• Students are encouraged to take part in various student organizations such as ConQuest, Challenge, Scholar Bowl and the Continental Math League. They also participate in school sports such as Soccer, Basketball, and Volleyball.
