PAL Academy Charter School offers students an opportunity to fulfill their potential in a dynamic environment that encourages and rewards high scholastic achievement. Although the achievement gap between minority students and other children has remained a daunting challenge throughout the country, PAL Academy has made great strides in overcoming the disparities in academic performance. Our elementary and middle school students are provided with an outstanding curriculum and a faculty of highly qualified teachers whose broad range of experiences offer an enriched educational experience. 

PAL students enjoy a safe and nurturing environment where they're not only equipped with the skills required to succeed, but given the emotional and social support needed to excel on every level. PAL Academy is unique; as one of Florida's first Team Success^TM schools, it extends to students a motivational program that provides exciting incentives and recognizes extraordinary academic accomplishment. In recent years, the student performance levels have improved, and their scores continue to show gains in FCAT, State, and other standardized tests.

Fred Spence, Sr., the school's CEO, knows what's required to meet these challenges, and drives home the point that "The only people who can close the gap are the people who are in it."
