On behalf of the Oxbridge community, welcome to our website.

Since its founding in 2011, Oxbridge Academy has emerged as one of the premier independent schools in South Florida. Dedicated to the principle that young people can acquire the capacity for complex thought and critical understanding, this school provides a unique educational experience that prepares students for adult lives of contribution and service. At the heart of that mission is a commitment to experiential learning in which students learn from master teachers who engage them in the rewards of study in all the major disciplines and strengthen their skills as thinkers and doers. Whether it is through our signature programs such as the Cambridge University Scholars Program, or the aviation program that can lead to certification as pilots, or our extensive independent study initiative that promotes originality of thought and research, Oxbridge is a place of opportunity for each of our students.

Equally important to the school’s mission is our cultivation of a culture of kindness that pervades our community. Oxbridge is a place where students genuinely like going to school, where they are respected for the unique individuals they are, and where participation in extracurricular activities in visual and performing arts groups, on athletic teams, and through service organizations further defines their social experience. With 100 percent of our students enrolling in four-year colleges, our graduates report they are more than ready for higher education and value their Oxbridge experience as a critical part of their preparation.

Welcome to Oxbridge Academy where we offer opportunity for a lifetime!
