​ADMISSIONS​
Welcome to
Palmer Catholic Academy!
​
On behalf of our students, families, faculty, and staff, thank you for visiting our website and considering our school for your child’s education. We are proud to be a Blue Ribbon, A+ Accredited Catholic school serving students across two beautiful campuses.
​
Our Preschool Campus, located on our Parish grounds, welcomes children from 6 weeks to 4 years old. Our Main Palm Valley Campus serves students from Pre-K4 through 8th grade, offering a nurturing, academically rigorous, and faith-filled environment.
​
At Palmer Catholic Academy, we provide a high school preparatory program rooted in academic excellence, critical thinking, and spiritual and moral development. Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to challenge students intellectually while nurturing their spiritual growth and character. From our preschool through middle school programs to our enriching athletic and fine arts opportunities, every student receives a well-rounded education that prepares them for future success.
We are honored to be recognized as one of Northeast Florida’s top schools, and we take that responsibility to heart by fostering a strong sense of community and a commitment to service. Families are encouraged to take part in after-school programs, faith life, and service opportunities that extend learning beyond the classroom.
We invite you to explore our website, reach out with any questions, or schedule a tour—we’d love to welcome you in person.
​
Thank you again for your interest in Palmer Catholic Academy! May your day be filled with blessings!
