BREVARD COUNTY • PALM BAY, FLORIDA – Palm Bay Academy is a Brevard County tuition free charter school where academics are emphasized and blended with Montessori teaching principles. To create equanimity, and make morning outfit choices easier, students wear standardized uniforms.

Small classes are taught by highly qualified teachers so as to provide each student with the attention they need in order to succeed academically and in life.

Palm Bay Academy’s existence was initiated by a handful of parents in the community. These parents recognized the need for a learning environment offering an excelled and enriched curriculum for elementary and middle school children.

“Palm Bay Academy, a Brevard Schools public charter, is the better choice because we care more,” said Madhu Longani, Director of Palm Bay Academy.

“We care more about your students, about their future… and about you. Palm Bay Academy believes that each child has unlimited potential. Our Leader in Me model helps us unlock and fulfill the unlimited potential in each and every student. With both face to face and e-learning options, everyone feels comfortable in their learning environment. Our e-learning experience is just like being face to face with each student receiving the attention they need to succeed.”

Palm Bay Academy opened in August of 1998 with 90 students in kindergarten through third grade. Each year, the school added a grade and increased student enrollment without compromising academic standards. By the 2013-2014 over 500 students were enrolled in grades Kindergarten through eighth grade.

The school’s rapid growth necessitated the need for additional buildings. On the 10th anniversary, in August of 2008, Palm Bay Academy Middle School (sixth through eighth grades) opened. The new school consists of three buildings totaling 35,000 square feet.

These buildings feature state of the art technology in all classrooms, a modern science lab, and a 24-station computer lab. The school’s Cafetorium houses a full performance stage, sound proof classrooms and rehearsal rooms, 10,000 square feet of open space that seats 600 for a performance or graduation, and seating for up to 300 for dinner or a banquet.

The building also has a full commercial kitchen that provide students at both of campuses with a high quality, healthy and great tasting meals that are prepared by our own cafeteria staff.
