Work Hard. Be Kind. Online.

Although the Palm Beach Day Academy campuses will be closed through the remainder of the ’19-’20 school year, the PBDA education will continue for our students.

Reflecting the core of PBDA, our distance learning program is grade-level specific, highly flexible, and personalized. Our faculty is committed to maintaining PBDA’s reputation for academic excellence during this unprecedented time of upheaval in the field of education.

To see our distance learning in action, we encourage you to follow us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter where we post daily to our feeds and stories.

PBDA's Distance Learning Program

PBDA’s Distance Learning program began on Monday, March 30 for students in Pre-Primary through Grade 9.

Lower Campus (Pre-Primary through Grade 3)

Google Classroom serves as the main platform for the Lower Campus where classroom teachers upload their daily lessons. The students are working on materials from their learning bags, provided to each student before Spring Break dismissal. We are incorporating apps that students are already familiar with, like Dreambox, IXL, SeeSaw, and Kids A-Z (RAZ-KIDS). Our Specialists in Art, Music, P.E., Spanish, Library and Innovation Lab are providing scheduled lessons to all Homeroom teachers.

Upper Campus (Grades 4-9)

The Upper Campus is following a distance learning daily schedule that is specific to Grade 4, Grades 5-6, and Grades 7-9. Teachers are utilizing Zoom to hold live classes for students. In addition to the traditional PBDA curriculum, each daily schedule also consists of an”activities time” where students are encouraged to work on an art assignment, practice their instrument, participate in community service, and more. The schedules also incorporate time for students to remain physically active each day, as well as help the adults around their home during a “How Can I Help?” activity period.

Homework for the forthcoming week will be posted to Bulldog Den each Sunday by 4PM.
