Royal Palm Academy is a wonderful, Catholic school. You will not find a better school in the area. The community, teachers and staff make the campus feel like a family. We moved from up north and were surprised at how welcoming RPA was. We instantly felt that we were part of a community, and a very special one.

The mission at Royal Palm Academy is teaching the mind, educating the heart, and forming character. Our mission is strongly demonstrated by teachers and staff. Both as a teacher and a parent at the school, I feel supported by a strong administration team. I love the family-friendly community at RPA. Everyone is so kind and respectful, and the teachers are creating a nurturing and secure learning environment for all students.

If you want your child to be bullied and feel completely hopeless, this is the school for you! The staff does nothing about the bullying and racism in this school. The children here are absolute snobs who bully other kids for being different. The cruel and disgusting things I hear come out of my child's mouth when I ask him what these kids say to him. Parents should be ashamed for teaching their kids that it’s okay to discriminate against others. My child has tried reporting these kids multiple times for bullying, and instead, it got him in trouble. It makes no sense. I am truly disgusted by this school and the staff. I am so happy I have switched my child to Bonita Charter, where he feels much more accepted and happier.

Last year was our first year with the school and while my son is thriving academically he is not so much on the social side. School is very cliquey from the staff, parents, and students. Hard for new families to fit in or feel welcomed.

We are living in times where our children's values and education is always being challenged by our society. However royal palm academy stands out and does not sell itself out short when it comes to quality and superior education as well developing morals and values in our son. RPA provides Not just any education but the type that exceeds all standards by state or other organizations. RPA allows our son to developmentally evolve to age appropriate education and material. There is no gender or role confusion at RPA. There are no confusing messages at RPA. This was the primary reason to send our son to RPA along with the high quality education way ahead of most school system.

We have enrolled 6 children at RPA and have been very happy with their educational and spiritual formation. This is an excellent school and is especially ideal for the younger grades as the children get a solid foundation in every way.

I was very happy with the development of my children at this school. Both in the courses they studied, and in their growth as a good person

I have four children at Royal Palm Academy. It’s been an extraordinary experience with all four of them.

Great! This school lives there mission statement, going over and beyond to help all their children. Their academics are strong and they have a rich program in character building and community service. The teachers and administrators are loving caring people. I wish they had a high school. It was so refreshing to find a Catholic School that actually lives their faith and it shows in how they love and support all their students. My daughter has special needs, and I was so impressed with the way they made her feel special and did whatever they could to help her have academic and social success.

My children got a great start at this school and would have stayed here until graduation if we had not have moved out of state. Excellent leadership, teachers are some of the best in Naples. As with any group of humans, there will be problems, mistakes and disagreements. I have seen the school always try to be fair. In the end, sometimes it's just not a good fit. I would re-enroll in a second if I were ever to move my family back.

If i could give this school 0 stars, I would. My siblings and I have all attended Royal Palm Academy beginning as early as 2005. My 3 siblings and I have all been students of RPA for a minimum of three years, and I can wholeheartedly state both as a former student and as an older sister- if you're looking to waste your money, do so elsewhere. Of all the schools that my family has been affiliated with - both public and private - Royal Palm Academy has caused us the most grief. Never have I seen a school allow so much bullying to take place. The truth is, you're not paying for a "wholesome, catholic education." Instead, this trailer park of a school demands overpriced tuition to cover a curriculum that's not worth the paper it's printed on. As the school continues to grow and it's staff continues to rotate due to countless problems and scandals, life as an RPA student seems to only worsen. Your children would receive a more religious, advanced, and moral education from a snapple cap than from this trailer park full of entitled, selfish bullies.

Extremely well run school. My children received an outstanding education from top rate teachers in a warm, religious environment. They were well prepared for high school and have continued to thrive through college. It all started at RPA.

There is a new head of school, new academic dean, new teachers. Very bumpy start to the school year. We have yet to receive updates from our teacher despite promising to provide weekly updates. Received a call on the first day of school that we forgot to pick up our child- teacher didn't receive notification of our enrollment to after-school ymca. Academic dean's highest priority are twofold: peanut butter allergies and promoting the speech assessment. Head of school has been rigid and stern with us. Yes, two sides to every story but it hasn't been a pleasant experience so far. Poor poor communication. Disappointed.

So far the education, love and support of the children far exceeds our expectations! Our son attended pre-k 4 and is now in Kindergarten. The new multi-purpose building is huge! It's a great addition for special events and rainy days. Small classroom size allows for teachers to better focus on individual student needs. Parents are SUPER involved in supporting fund raising events, field trips and upholding core values. Leadership takes their job to heart and gives 110% every day. Thank you RPA for all you do!!!!
