Dibacco School (Closed 2025)

The Di Bacco School has, for 45 years, honored the individual student.
We work to adapt a curriculum unique to the student and offer an atmosphere that is safe and conducive to real learning.
Our students proceed at their own pace and their individual interests are always encouraged.
We are not concerned with how fast a student finishes an assignment; we are concerned with how well the assignment is done and how much the student has learned.
We want our students to become lifelong learners. We limit our enrollment to only 12 students so that we can offer the kind of one-on-one attention the students deserve, unlike the large and unwieldy classes found in public and many private schools.
The secret ingredient to our approach is the love and respect we have for our students.
We promote a casual family atomosphere where students feel comfortable and nurtured.
We call ourselves 'A Little Oasis of Hope' because we offer an innovative alternative to traditional educational methods.
Our record in college placement is also something we are proud of.
The Di Bacco School is one of the oldest private schools in Palm Beach County and is still in operation today because we fulfill a need in students who yearn for a smart educational alternative.
