from PSG Summer 2021
by PSG
Oxbridge Academy is expanding its academic offerings and putting the finishing touches on a new middle school, which debuts in August.
“Adding a middle school expands our commitment to offering a world-class education and gives younger students the opportunity to experience and benefit from our enriching culture that nurtures and instills Oxbridge values within a diverse and inclusive community,” said Ralph Maurer, head of school at Oxbridge Academy. Oxbridge attracts students from across Palm Beach and Martin counties to its 54-acre campus in West Palm Beach.

Adding a middle school has been in the planning stages for several years with the goal of opening in 2021 as part of celebrating Oxbridge’s 10th anniversary. “Entering our second decade, a middle school was a big part of the conversation as we identified ways to build on our strong foundation and offer an exceptional private school education to a broader constituency of students,” Maurer said. “Expanding to middle school means preparing students at a younger age to be critical thinkers, world citizens, and future leaders who are caring, confident, compassionate, and unafraid to tackle and solve 21st-century problems.”
Oxbridge Middle School students will receive the same high-caliber academic experience provided to students in grades 9-12 and will also have the opportunity to try out for the school’s awardwinning athletic program that features 22 sports. In addition, middle school students will be encouraged to create clubs and participate in community outreach efforts, becoming fully integrated into the school’s culture of kindness. They will also enjoy access to Oxbridge Academy’s gourmet dining services and state-of-the-art health and wellness programs.
Oxbridge Academy is committed to building a diverse and inclusive community of families that place a high value on investing in a private school education for their children. Middle school students also will be eligible for financial aid.
