Head of School

Greetings,

On behalf of our whole school community, I’d like to extend you a warm welcome to our Palm Beach Day Academy website and thank you for visiting us.   Our hope is that you will find the information you need here, and will understand why we are such a unique and special school.

Five years ago I visited Palm Beach Day Academy for the first time and immediately knew I’d found a home.  It is a place where the word ‘community’ truly involves everyone; teachers, parents, students, alumni, and the residents of the surrounding Palm Beaches.   We are commited to hiring the best and brightest teachers whose passion about always growing shows in the way they challenge and nurture each individual child.  It’s a place that is small enough that each student is truly known, is given the opportunity to develop the gifts they discover, and graduates with the ability and commitment to make the world a better place.

I’m sure that, as you see the smiles on our children’s and teachers’ faces, you will sense the joy and happiness that permeates our buildings each day.  Palm Beach Day Academy is a school where the teachers view their days as an opportunity to fulfill a calling rather than a job, where children are challenged to reach beyond what they think is possible while developing a love of learning, and where our parents are a true part of their child’s journey.

If there is anything you can’t find on the website, please don’t hesitate to call me at 561-655-1188 or come and visit us in person.

Warmly,
 

Dr. Rebecca van der Bogert
Head of Palm Beach Day Academy
