About Palm Beach Day Academy
Palm Beach Day Academy opened in 1921 as two schools, one for girls and one for boys, and became the first independent school in Florida. We now enroll 575 students from Pre-Primary (age 2) through Grade 8 on two campuses 1.3 miles apart. Our Lower School, for age 2 through Grade 3, sits on Flagler Drive in West Palm Beach's El Cid neighborhood, facing the Intracoastal Waterway. Grades 4 to 8 attend the Upper School on Seaview Avenue on the island of Palm Beach, home to the Halmos Gymnasium and the Matthews Center for the Performing Arts.
We keep a 6:1 student-teacher ratio, and our Student Success Team gives academic, social, emotional and physical support as needed. Interscholastic sports start in Grade 6 and include volleyball, basketball, soccer, field hockey, flag football, tennis, golf and lacrosse.
Close to 50 enrichment classes run each trimester, Pre-Primary through Grade 3 students can stay for aftercare with homework help until 5:00 p.m., and camps run in summer and over winter and spring breaks. Tuition for 2026-27 ranges from $26,500 for half-day Pre-Primary to $42,600 for Grades 6 to 8, and we award need-based financial assistance.
