Our Methods
Report
Palmetto Bay Academy is a leader in educational innovation. Designed by our Founder, Stanford educated teacher and school leader, Lois Dimos MEd, the PBA model emphasizes individualized academic pathways, flexible scheduling, a focus on mastery, not testing, and an understanding that foregoing the emotional and behavioral growth of a student often ensures under-performing academically.
