The Palm Beach Academy has classes starting regularly and often so getting started soon is not a problem.

The first step is to contact someone on our admissions team and make an appointment for a school tour, a personal interview, and a complete explanation of all programs. If you have questions about costs, payments options and/or financial responsibilities, you can set a time to meet with our Financial Aid Director as well. The Palm Beach Academy staff is always ready and willing to assist students in achieving their educational goals.

If you are ready to move forward, the next step is the Admission Application process. An application is available online (link on the left) that can be filled out and electronically submitted or can be downloaded and mailed in to the school. Either way, the application will not be processed until the school receives a $100 admission application fee. It is recommended that each applicant review our current School Catalog and Consumer Handbook submitting your application.

The school will determine an applicant's eligibility on the basis of a complete and acceptable application package, personal interview, and commitment to becoming a working graduate. The specific details of the process and requirements for successful admission to Palm Beach Academy can be found in the current School Catalog.

Palm Beach Academy admits students regardless of Race, Creed, Gender, Age, Religion, Disability, Personal Lifestyle, or Marital Status, to the extent of the law.
