Our
Mission History
Established in 1998, Royal Palm Academy was founded with a distinctive vision rooted in Integral Formation—an educational philosophy dedicated to nurturing every facet of a child's development. The school was founded by Carol and Patrick Moore, inspired by the profound idea of shaping poised and virtuous leaders capable of making a positive impact on their communities, families, and the world.
Throughout our journey, our central mission has remained steadfast: to provide a comprehensive education that blends rigorous academics with Catholic formation. We are committed to educating minds, nurturing hearts, and shaping the character of future leaders who will transform the world with their values, knowledge, and compassion.
Our
Faith
Our Catholic identity is deeply woven into the fabric of our school community, offering students numerous opportunities to grow in faith and leadership.
We pray daily as a school community, celebrate Mass, participate in adoration, and pray the rosary, nurturing a spiritual foundation that supports our students' moral and ethical development.
Our innovative House system encourages camaraderie, responsibility, and leadership among students of all ages, while our academic program emphasizes character formation alongside intellectual growth.
These elements combine to create a nurturing environment where students can develop into wellrounded individuals, prepared to lead with integrity and compassion.
Our
Academics
Building the Foundation
We believe that early childhood education is about more than just preparing for kindergarten; it’s about instilling a lifelong love of learning, curiosity, and faith. Through a blend of play-based learning, hands-on activities, and creative exploration, our Pre-Kindergarten students develop essential educational, social, and life skills. Our dedicated teachers guide each child’s growth, fostering their confidence, imagination, and ability to interact with others.
Becoming a Good Follower and Developing Leadership Traits
Our elementary program is designed to nurture the whole child, offering a well-rounded education that balances academic excellence with spiritual growth. From Kindergarten through fifth grade, we provide a dynamic and engaging curriculum that challenges students to think critically, explore their creativity, and develop strong moral values.
In our supportive and faith-centered environment, children are encouraged to embrace their individuality, collaborate with peers, and grow as compassionate leaders.
Culminating in Leadership
Students in our middle school program continue to build on their foundational knowledge with a rigorous curriculum that emphasizes leadership, collaboration, and independence. During these critical years, students are encouraged to take greater responsibility for their academic journey by leading group projects, celebrating their achievements, and exploring their passions.
Our curriculum is designed to challenge and engage students, equipping them with the skills and knowledge necessary for success beyond high school. When your child graduates from Royal Palm Academy, they will be wellprepared to reach their full potential in college, their careers, and the world that awaits them.
Our
Arts
At Royal Palm Academy, we believe that the arts are essential to a well-rounded education. Our vibrant arts program encourages students to express themselves creatively while developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Through our visual arts curriculum, students explore various mediums such as drawing, painting, sculpture, and digital design.
In addition to visual arts, we offer a dynamic music program that engages students in both vocal and instrumental education. From learning musical notation to performing in ensembles, students are immersed in the joy of creating and performing music. Our student choir is a cornerstone of the program, providing students the opportunity to showcase their talents during school events, Mass, and community performances.
