Excellent school, my granddaughter loves it, the teachers give personal attention to each child’s needs. PBA prepares students well for college entry exams. Also the teachers and the administration always maintain a positive attitude, while working with their students. The students’s self esteem is priority for them. I highly recommend This school

Parents: Great, we love PBA!The school management is always helpful and very committed! Students' career plans are taken into account and supported by individual planning of lessons.Through good contacts, "magnet school dreams" can come true. Our daughter Linn learnt a lot and made really good experiences. Her further development into a teenager was very positive.After one year in school we have to go back to Germany and will miss PBA!Linn:School has always helped me in all questions and problems.My teachers were friendly and supported us to learn independently. There lessons were interesting, challenging and seldom boring. And the secretary Ms Cruz is an angel!

Reflecting upon where our son was when he started and the young adult he’s become in the last three years, it is clear that PBA has played an integral part in his academic, social, and emotional maturity. His years at PBA has prepared him to move forward into a larger high school experience, where we are confident that he will thrive. PBA is the model to which other schools aspire to be. PBA is a true academic gem in our community.

PBA has a unique environment that is conducive to productivity, creativity, and success. My son was finally able to do well in school. There is no place like it! There are many schools that claim to be dedicated to helping childreb succeed. My son went to two of them. But this is the first school that showed us they meant it! I am so grateful to have found this school.

Leadership at the school is excellent. They help the students with unique educational needs and will work with them to develop custom curriculums.

Without trying to be overly dramatic, I would have to say that Palmetto Bay Academy saved my son's life and got him back on the road to academic and personal success. My very bright son went from missing over 70 days of 11th grade due to illness with failing grades, no interest in college and behavioral issues to being the valedictorian of the Palmetto Bay Academy class of 2014 and getting into all 10 colleges he applied to. The guidance and positive acceptance of this child by PBA teachers and staff put my son back in the academic world and inspired him to turn everything around in his life. We can never be grateful enough for what Palmetto Bay Academy did for our son.

The excellence of the faculty members at any school is a major factor in the quality of education you receive and this is one of the main advantages of attending PBA very supportive and qualified faculty. Failing is not an option.

EXCELLENT for Smart kids that need an individualized approach. Many kids that dont work well in TRADITIONAL schools and are subject to bullying, or are unconventional, can get in the business of learning, getting credits and focusing 100% in academics. It has no Athletic department and minimal social events. Perfect for kids that need extra supervising under freedom of working at their own pace. A lot come from great pr vate schools, are catching up coming from schools abroad, or faced setbacks such as sickness and come here to work under a rigurous program.
