I am a former student of Boca Prep International, and to me, Boca Prep is more than just a school, it's a family. I graduated in 2018 and spent the best three years of my life there. As an international exchange student, I stayed with a host family who became my second family, supporting me throughout my stay. Many friends also stayed with host families and had wonderful experiences. The school has everything a child or teenager could dream of—sports, great teachers, excellent education, and, most importantly, values. They not only prepare you to be a great professional and ready for university but also instill values that shape you as a person. I felt very supported by the staff and my family, even as a young girl on the other side of the world. Thanks to my teachers' dedication, I achieved great results, and I can say that this experience shaped who I am today, so I just want to say thank you.

Going to Boca Prep was always something I looked forward to every day. Meeting up with my friends and attending my favorite teachers classes is a fond memory I will keep with me forever. The international programs allowed me to travel the work during high school, I keep friends from so many countries due to these once in a lifetime experiences I got to take part in! I believe the school is the safest in the country, providing individualized attention to every student and extra meetings if needed. I recommend everyone to bring their children to this school if they can!

Changing schools is daunting in itself but changing countries and going to a new school for our 14 year old son was even more daunting . The obvious questions were how will he cope , what will the curriculum be like , how supportive will the new school be and the most important question for us, will our son be happy .Boca Prep international school could not have been kinder and more welcoming to our son and to us. They were incredibly supportive and the teaching was excellent . Our son was studying at a prestigious school in London so the obvious question was have we done the right thing . The answer was absolutely yes . Our son spent 4 years at Boca Prep and made life long friends . His teachers were incredibly supportive. He completed his IB and chose university of Miami on an academic scholarship to boot ! We know that without the help and guidance of all the staff this would never have happened. We wholeheartedly recommend Boca prep from our wonderful experience

Boca Prep has not only provided a rigorous academic curriculum but has also encouraged me to think critically, embrace creativity, and develop leadership skills. The teachers here have been more than instructors; they've been mentors and guides who've helped shape my perspective and fostered my passion for learning.What truly sets Boca Prep apart is and inclusive community. The friendships I've made with students from all around the world have expanded my horizons and enriched my life in ways I couldn't have imagined. The sense of belonging and support within the school has been invaluable, especially during my senior year. To prospective students and parents considering Boca Prep International School, I can wholeheartedly say that this institution has been instrumental in my personal and academic growth. It's a place where you can dream big and be supported every step of the way. and I will always cherish the memories and lessons I've gained during my time here.

A great school with caring teachers that go above and beyond to ensure their students succeed in all areas. The small family environment makes children feel supported and gives them an opportunity to express themselves. The teachers are loving and helpful and the students are kind and respectful. I am so grateful for this school!

This school has been a dream come true for our family! After moving to FL from the northeast we were worried about the school system and population sizes in the public schools. We opted for private and researched many schools in the area. While there are many private schools in Palm Beach with beautiful facilities and leading academics, nothing compares to the individualized attention and support my children receive at Boca Prep. Every staff member knows their names, dislikes, interests, hobbies, and more. Each day my children are excited to go to school, play with friends, and learn. The small class sizes, family-oriented culture, and IB philosophies are the perfect fit for families looking for a small and inclusive environment!

Boca Prep International comes highly recommended!Our two kids who are 11 and 6 years old started on Boca Prep last year(2023) and they love it there. The school is very safe with fences and a security guard, the teacher and the staff is very polite and professional and it's large enough to offer a good school environment but not to large so the individuals can be seen as well. Almost all the teachers and staff know all the kids by their names. Our kids could barely speak English before they started on Boca Prep, but as a international school they have taken very good care of our kids and integrated them into their respective classes and both kids are now speaking fluent English on "almost" the same level as their classmates. I can't recommend this school enough!

We joined Boca Prep International School at the very end of the last school year when we relocated to the US. The staff were very welcoming and exceptional in helping our high-schooler to prepare for their end of year exams. The school has a diverse culture, very small class sizes, easy access to one-on-one help, and in our case, gives our child the opportunity to practice the sport he loves as an elective. Another huge positive for our family is that Boca Prep offers the International Baccalaureate (IB) Program; something we were as well looking for.We are very happy with our decision to be part of the Boca Prep community.

The worst school I have ever stepped foot in. The admin team is an absolute nightmare to deal with. With the original principal we had high hopes, but once the admin changed the school quickly started to fall apart. Good luck getting honest answers and information, wrong information and constant story changes seem to be the norm. Not to mention water leaks, beat down bleachers, and needs a full face lift. And to top it off… bring your children to another prep school and see how far behind they are academically after attending Boca Prep. School is an absolute joke. Invest your $20k/year and put your kids in public school… they will be better off.

Worst school across USA. Public schools are far better than this.

Absolutely the worst school I’ve ever been involved with. Academically terrible, high teacher turnover, many troubled students and a recently demoted head principal. Many issues and not worth. Send your kids to St Andrews or some of the notable private and public schools in the areas. Stay away from this place!!!

The new principal, Stan Daniel has turned this school around. He is hands on, fully engaged, accessible, kind, hard working, smart. Everyone I know is happy with the choice, including my kids who attend this school.

As any other school, it has good and bad things. At least they are doing an effort to run it as best possible. Some administrators will do anything for the place!

Steep decline in quality of education in the last 2 years. Ineffective leadership and management is leading to a monumental collapse. Have seen many teachers quit, parents leave and seems like there is no end.

The "Administrators" are clueless and can not run a school! Every year at least half of the staff turns over, which has a negative impact on the students and curriculm to say the least. The school has become a joke over the years and the Admin seem to turn a blind eye to all that is going on.

Worst teaching experience I ever had. Would not recommend any teacher go here until they get their act together.
