Palmer Catholic Academy of Our Lady Star of the Sea Parish is a member of the Diocese of St. Augustine and is fully accredited by the Florida Catholic Conference. The School was founded in 1997 to provide our children and our community with a quality education within a loving Catholic environment. Located approximately one mile west of A1A on County Road 210, this state-of-the-art facility accommodates up to 504 students, from PK4 through 8th grade. Our preschool facility located on our Parish Campus on A1A also holds classes for ages 6 weeks through 5 years old.

In September, 2005, Palmer Catholic Academy was designated as a 2005 No Child Left Behind – Blue Ribbon Award school by the United States Department of Education in Washington, DC. The Department of Education established the No Child Left Behind – Blue Ribbon School award program to recognize and present as models both public and private elementary and secondary schools whose students achieve at very high levels. Palmer Catholic Academy was recognized for our students scoring in the top 10th percentile on standardized Math and Reading tests referenced against national norms.

The foundation of our educational program is developmental learning, language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. In addition, physical education, secondary language, music, art, computer science and special events are integrated into the curriculum. These educational instruments are enhanced by daily religious instruction and prayer intended to strengthen the learning process and give our children a well-rounded Catholic Christian education.

In August of 2012, Palmer Catholic Academy opened the Daniel B. Logan Gymnasium and Community Center facility on its property and welcomed the next phase of educational enrichment. Monsignor Brennan was the pastor for 12 years, and currently under the leadership of a new pastor, Rev. Andy Blaszkowski, PCA continues to uphold the traditions of a parochial education, while incorporating the latest advancements in learning techniques. Our students LIVE and LEARN their Catholic faith daily.
