PBMA promotes academic success in all subjects. Our Faculty are dedicated to providing engaging and innovative learning experiences that focus on differentiation to meet the individual needs of students. PBMA utilizes McGraw Hill Wonders for English Language Arts, Savvas Envision for Math, STEMScopes for Science, and Studies Weekly for Social Studies. Our core curriculum is supported with the following supplemental curriculum: i-Ready, Reading Eggs/Express, CAPIT, Study Island, and Reflex Math. Each student is assigned a chromebook for the school year in order to effectively utilize these supplemental programs. Effective school to home communication is key, and parent participation in your child's education is highly encouraged. Parent training sessions are held throughout the year to help build capacity in order for parents to have the ability to effectively continue academics at home. Our students are also taught character education daily utilizing the Positivity Project and our core anchors of being Respectful, Responsible, and Ready to learn are instilled in our students daily. PBMA's fine arts program supports academics. Students attend fine arts classes daily which consist of Marine Science, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math), Media, PE, and Art. All students participate in field trips which enrich our curriculum and are generally geared toward marine science experiences. Palm Beach Maritime Academy Elementary is accredited by Cognia. Palm Beach Maritime Academy and High School is accredited by AdvancED (formerly SACS).

Palm Beach Maritime Academy believes Literacy is the core of all learning, as such students who are in need of additional support are placed in Intensive Reading classes as a school we ensure that Literacy is built into the overall curriculum of the school. We have always believed that formal reading instruction cannot stop in 5th grade; there are still many skills to be learned and powerful literary pieces to be read, analyzed and discussed. All classes including math are taught through the use of a differentiated approach. Qualified students in grade 8 are eligible to take Algebra 1 and earn a High School credit upon passing the State exam. Science and Social Studies are supplemented with an array of field trips designed to enhance the curriculum. Trips include shark-tagging with the University of Miami and Nova University, Daggery Nature Center, Grassy Waters and Busche Wildlife. Students also have the opportunity to participate in the Coastal Clean-up and take field trips to the Everglades, Loggerhead, and Jupiter Lighthouse. Parents are invited to Curriculum Nights during which the teachers demonstrate concepts taught in class and assist parents in helping their children excel.
