    Elementary

    Palm Bay Academy

    Palm Bay Academy is a Brevard County tuition free charter school. Academics are emphasized and blended with Montessori teaching principles. To create equanimity (and make morning outfit choices easier) students are honored to wear standardized uniforms. Small classes are taught by highly qualified teachers so as to provide each student with the attention they need in order to succeed academically and in life.  

    Palm Bay Academy’s existence was initiated by a handful of parents in the community. These parents recognized the need for a learning environment offering an excelled and enriched curriculum for elementary and middle school children. Their need and will created the school.

    Palm Bay Academy opened in August of 1998 with 90 students in kindergarten through 3rd grade. Each year, the school added a grade and increased student enrollment without compromising academic standards. By the 2013-2014 over 500 students were enrolled in grades kindergarten through 8th grade.

    The school’s rapid growth necessitated the need for additional buildings. On our 10th anniversary, in August of 2008, Palm Bay Academy Middle School (6th through 8th grades) opened. The new school consists of three buildings totaling 35,000 sq. ft. These buildings feature state of the art technology in all classrooms, a modern science lab, and a 24-station computer lab. The school’s Cafetorium houses a full performance stage, sound proof classrooms and rehearsal rooms, 10,000 sq. ft. of open space that seats 600 for a performance or graduation, and seating for up to 300 for dinner or a banquet. The building also has a full commercial kitchen. We provide students at both of our campuses with a high quality, healthy and great tasting meals that are prepared by our own cafeteria staff.
