Gulf Stream School is a private, coeducational, independent day school located in Gulf Stream, Florida. Founded in 1938, the school serves more than 300 students from 12 months through eighth grade across two campuses in Gulf Stream and Delray Beach. The school is accredited by the Florida Council of Independent Schools (FCIS)[1] and is a member of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS).[2]
History
Founded in 1938 by William and Ada Belle Johnston, the institution was originally known as the “Little School by the Sea.” It was established to provide a personalized education in a coastal setting, initially operating out of a repurposed polo barn to serve the founders' daughter and other local children.[3] Since its founding, the school has evolved into a coastal campus that maintains a focus on character development and academic readiness.
Academics
Gulf Stream School provides a balanced, whole-child education that combines core mastery with personal growth. The curriculum is designed to offer a developmentally appropriate challenge at every grade level.
- Pre-Primary (PK1–Kindergarten): The early childhood program is play-based and child-centered, focusing on stimulating a child's academic, social, physical, and emotional growth. Students begin Spanish instruction on their first day and utilize the Bridges Math Program to develop early STEM thinking.
- Lower School (Grades 1–5): The elementary curriculum emphasizes academic stamina and mastery of core subjects through inquiry-based instruction. A heavy focus is placed on literacy and language arts, where students are encouraged to become "poised communicators."
- Middle School (Grades 6–8): Known as the "Leadership Years," the Middle School provides an academically challenging environment. Because the school serves students only through eighth grade, Middle Schoolers are expected to take on leadership roles, such as public speaking and mentoring younger students, earlier than they might in a K–12 setting.
Campus and student life
The school maintains a 14:1 student-to-teacher ratio.
- The Arts: Creative confidence is built through weekly performing arts, music lessons, and drama experiences.
- Athletics: The wellness program includes physical education and team sports intended to build resilience and teamwork.
- Signature Traditions: The student experience includes traditional capstone events, such as eighth-grade speeches, a trip to Canada, and electives including robotics.
Secondary school placement
The school's outplacement program assists families in finding high schools. Graduates frequently matriculate to selective day schools, including Saint Andrew’s School, The Benjamin School, Pine Crest School, and Oxbridge Academy, as well as national boarding schools.
