North Palm Beach has long been a desirable place to live. Recently it was ranked as the 10th safest city in Florida by the National Council for Home Safety and Security. It has quiet neighborhoods with nice sidewalks and waterfront parks and play areas that look like they should be in a magazine. They have parades and festivals, a Country Club with a Jack Nicklaus designed golf course and fun, unique events like a pool dive Easter egg hunt and flashlight Easter egg hunt. Yet there is another reason to want to live in North Palm Beach Florida, the local elementary school. The Conservatory School (formerly North Palm Beach Elementary School), is relatively new and a performing arts school. Kindergarten through 5th grade is currently open to the zoned school district which includes most of North Palm Beach and parts of Juno Beach and some areas south of North Palm. They have a Children’s Orchestra and Performing Arts (COPA) Program in addition to their academics. Their middle school is a choice school which requires an audition and as of next year they will have a high school too. The students begin instruction in music instruments as early as kindergarten and their performances are impressive.
