The Weiss School, located in Palm Beach Gardens, is fully accredited by the Florida Council of Independent Schools, the Florida Kindergarten Council, and the Southern Association for Colleges and Schools. Serving children in early childhood (3 year and 4 year old) through eighth grade, the school gives children the opportunity to develop mentally, socially, and emotionally to their fullest potential. With small classes, individual attention is a priority. Students, teachers and parents work together to map out individualized educational programs that build upon each child's special strengths and skills, while enhancing the child's self-esteem and self-concept.

Three Guiding Principles of The Weiss School

1. The Weiss School always places the safety, psychological well-being and education of the students first.
   That means we prioritize the needs, desires and opportunities of students above those of the administration and faculty. We make decisions that err on the side of caution for the sake of the students. Plus, when necessary for the protection of the children, we are willing to accept reasonable risks for the school.

2. The Weiss School always considers different learning styles, new ideas, and modern technologies with an open mind.
   We encourage different approaches to education. We promote the open exchange of ideas. We make room for opinions with which we may disagree. And we avoid single-minded ideologies that discourage alternatives.

3. We uphold and defend the dignity of fellow human beings, regardless of their origin, creed, appearance, or behavior.
   That includes empathizing with the unique circumstances of each individual, recognizing their strengths and talents, understanding the special characteristics that make them different, and respecting the privacy of teachers, students and family.

These three guiding principles — children first, an open mind and human dignity —have always been, and will continue to be, the basis for all our well-established procedures and decision-making guidelines.

The philosophy of The Weiss School is shared by the administration, teachers, parents and students. The philosophy states that classroom studies have no limits. Material is presented to the students in ways which complement their learning styles, incorporating upper level thinking skills and creativity. At The Weiss School, every individual student succeeds. Learning is transformed into an enjoyable, fulfilling experience. Each child develops the ability to communicate, to assimilate and apply new knowledge, to create ideas, and to reason. A caring environment fosters values that include personal responsibility, concern for fellow human beings, and the desire to function as a beneficial member of society.
