WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Nov. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Greene School, an academic private academy in West Palm Beach, with a reputation for inspiring students, announced today the launch of its new high school. Starting Fall 2022, The Greene School will offer a place to learn, grow and excel for students grade Pre-K through ninth grade.

The school, which features a 6:1 student to teacher ratio, is known for its academic strengths as well as its commitment to developing well-rounded, joyful, curious and confident learners.

"My wife and I had a vision for a school right in here in West Palm Beach that would offer the same academic prestige, opportunities, culture, and personalization as the very best schools in the country," said Jeff Greene. "With the phenomenal success of the lower school over the past six years and the support of our students' parents, we know the time is right to create a high school, where we can see our students through to the colleges of their choice."

The new high school will include the following:

• In-depth, high-level courses in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science and Social Sciences

"The addition of the Upper School also benefits our Lower School students who excel in particular subjects by offering them individual classes above their grade level. This will enhance their college-readiness and ensure our Greene School students remain challenged and stimulated."
