The Oxbridge Academy Provides Students
With A Challenging And Dynamic Education
A coeducational private high school, the Oxbridge Academy was founded in 2011 by energy magnate and philanthropist William I. Koch to provide a challenging, dynamic education in and beyond the classroom in order to prepare students for a lifetime of success.
At the Oxbridge Academy, students learn through engagement in academic and community-based projects that speak to their talents and interests, sparking their curiosity and passion.
The Oxbridge Academy offers a college preparatory program that emphasizes depth of understanding and practice in the skills required for successful college performance. The school’s unique approach to learning highlights the discrete skills required for becoming an insightful reader of literature and history; a practitioner of the principles behind meaningful historical analysis, material and scientific processes; and fluency as a speaker of a different language.
The Oxbridge Academy accomplishes these goals through extensive use of experiential learning and diverse opportunities for discovering one’s passions as a student. In addition to a strong academic curriculum, the school is proud of its culture of kindness and acceptance that helps all students feel welcome as a member of the Oxbridge family.
Terrell Seabrooks, president of the senior class, entered Oxbridge as a freshman and discovered his special talents through work with the Oxbridge Academy’s nationally competitive debate team. He eventually emerged as the school’s premier competitor in Congressional Debate, winning multiple tournaments and finishing second in the nation. Seabrooks has excelled at lacrosse throughout his time at Oxbridge and, this year, earned the athlete of the year distinction in Palm Beach County. He took advantage of the honors and honors seminar classes available at Oxbridge and was admitted to both Harvard and Princeton. He will matriculate at Princeton University this fall.
The Oxbridge Academy works hard to fill its faculty positions with top educators. The school constantly hires the best and most energetic teachers, pays them appropriately and works to be certain that the curriculum balances essential learning with elements of the new needs and interests of today’s students. The faculty and administration consistently work to provide a rich tapestry of curriculum offerings, as well as a broad array of extracurricular offerings that excite students to take intellectual risks.
The Oxbridge Academy has successfully met these challenges since it was established and its leadership is confident that the school will continue to do so in the future.
“Oxbridge Academy is a school dedicated to offering opportunities: the opportunity to excel academically and earn acceptance to one’s choice of college, the opportunity to experience the values of teamwork and pursuit of excellence on the athletic field, and the opportunity to discover one’s passion through academics and extracurricular activities,” Head of School and Academic Dean John Klemme explained.
The Oxbridge Academy serves grades 9 through 12 on a 56-acre campus that features state-of-the-art classrooms, along with academic and athletic amenities equipped with advanced technologies.
The Oxbridge Academy is located at 3151 N. Military Trail in West Palm Beach. For more information, call (561) 972-9600 or visit www.oapb.org.
