About
Located in the heart of Palm Beach County, PBDA is the school of choice for families who value an education that guides each child towards personal excellence of mind, body and character.
Our Mission and Vision
PBDA students are expected to Lead with Honor in the classroom, on the fields, and in their day-to-day lives. At the beginning of each year, students of all ages sign a "Lead with Honor" pledge to hold themselves accountable to the PBDA mission.
The PBDA History
As a 103-year-old institution and Florida's first independent school, we are constantly looking to our past to prepare for our future. Many of our decades-old traditions have persevered, while others had made way for new innovations.
Our Strategic Plan
The Path Forward is our strategic plan that includes our institutional goals in programming, fundraising, admission, and more through 2026.
Board of Trustees
Our board is composed of prominent community members, business leaders and supportive parents dedicated to advancing our school.
