Schools are about student success and our students are at the center of every decision we make. From our Middle Schoolers to High Schoolers, we design education that engages creativity, motivates critical thinking, and inspires collaboration. In turn, our students stretch and grow beyond their wildest imaginations preparing them for a future of lifelong learning.

The middle and high school curriculum is based upon the state curriculum frameworks and course description by the Florida Standards and the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards prescribed by the Florida State Department of Education.
Project Based Learning
Project Based Learning at Palm Glades Preparatory Academy is a philosophy of education that encourages students to learn and apply knowledge and skills through an engaging experience.
Project Based Learning presents opportunities for deeper learning in context and for the development of important skills tied to college, professional development and career readiness.
Project based learning activities are interdisciplinary, rigorous, and student centered. Research on project based learning supports an increase in student success, engagement and achievement, and helps students develop the 21st-century skills they need to succeed in higher education.
