Palmetto Bay Academy

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 learned 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. Their lessons were interesting, challenging, and seldom boring. And the secretary Ms Cruz is an angel!

My granddaughter loves this school! She says is the first school where she can really learn and not feel anxious! she loves the teachers, the principal and the students! She`s enthusiastic about learning! She`s taking Philosophy now and she loves it! My granddaughter`s Personality has changed for the best, she`s a lot more relaxed, happy and interested in learning and doing well in school! I highly recommend Palmetto Bay Academy!

Palmetto Bay Academy has lowered the anxiety in our home by leaps and bounds. The blended classroom structure means less class work coming home in the evenings. I can speak to the teachers and administrators with ease- no need for appointments set days ahead. Emails are responded to almost immediately. Traditional schools are not for every child or family. Some of us need more flexibility and assistance than the average. PBA delivers on a customized education for their students and un-paralleled support for its families!

My son has blossomed since coming to PBA . He use to attend a large private prep school with over 1200 students.. He went from being unhappy and having failing grades to a 3.9GPA . He loves his environment now - the smaller classrooms - and that made all the difference in the world for him.

I can absolutely say that Palmetto Bay Academy saved my son. He is gifted, but had ADHD (inattentive type) and dyslexia which had not been diagnosed until he was 16 and failing his gifted high school program. We were all ready to give up. Thankfully when he was diagnosed, we were introduced to this school, and we have our son back again! He now has a 4.6 GPA, all honors classes, and has completely turned around socially and emotionally. He now has the chance to succeed in life as he should, thanks to Maggie and John Eubanks and staff. We are incredibly grateful. They will truly go to the mat for each child according to that child's needs.

My son started at PBA this August and I have nothing but praises for this amazing school. The teachers are so dedicated and helpful. It is obvious they want to see the students succeed. He was way behind in his academics and in just a few months, the teachers have done an amazing job in getting him on track. He is enjoying the various activities such as the field trip to the Science Museum, playing basketball and interacting with his fellow students, and he likes all his teachers and Mr. & Mrs. Eubanks. Thank you so much for providing such a wonderful school providing such a nurturing environment for our children.

The best school that we have had for our children's, we have been blessed for finding this school. We strongly recommend it and we congratulate Ms. Gross and the staff.

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.

Our son had lost direction and motivation for school. He had tested as gifted his entire and did well until middle school. We tried several high schools for him but he always seemed to get "lost" with teachers that didn't inspire him to learn or grow. We thought that there was nowhere left to try until an academic counselor suggested PBA. Our son is finishing high school there in the next two months and has been admitted to eight different colleges and is on the waitlist for three others. The school offered a personalized approach to our son's needs and got him to see the "goal line" and finish high school with a very respectable GPA. Thanks PBA!! PS Maggie Eubanks is great!!

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.

Mrs. Gross is the best !! She made all the difference in the world for our son. We feel blessed to have had her as a teacher, director and supportive human being. Great faculty too!

PBA has a unique learning environment where our son was finally able to do well in school. There is no place like it! He has been at several private/boarding schools that have all claimed to be dedicated to helping him succeed, but this is the first school that showed us they meant it! Mrs. Gross and all of the teachers are truly dedicated to helping students find a pathway to achieving their full potential! They CARE! We are so grateful to have found this school.
