What Oxbridge Academy Foundation, Inc. does

Oxbridge Academy Foundation, Inc. is a private, nonprofit, co-educational college-preparatory school serving approximately 615 students in grades 6–12 on a 54-acre campus at 3151 North Military Trail in West Palm Beach, Florida. The school was founded in 2011 by philanthropist William I. Koch, who has contributed more than $100 million cumulatively, and operates under a Board of Trustees chaired by David A. Rosow with Dr. Ralph Maurer as Head of School. The educational product is organized into a Middle School program (grades 6–8, tuition $37,900 for 2026–2027) and an Upper School program (grades 9–12, tuition $45,600), augmented by five signature programs — Artificial Intelligence, Aviation (AOPA curriculum with Redbird MCX flight simulator), Free Enterprise Institute, the exclusive Cambridge Scholars Program, and Independent Research & Study — plus 25 varsity athletic teams, a fine arts program, and summer academic and athletic camps.

The underlying operating stack combines Finalsite (website), Veracross (admission and student portal), and Ravenna (financial aid applications); no proprietary technology platform is productized externally. The instructional model emphasizes a 9:1 student-to-teacher ratio, an average class size of 14, and a 230-course Upper School catalog, with reported outcomes including more than 50% of graduates attending a top-100 U.S. university and $15 million in collegiate merit scholarships.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through tuition and fees, with approximately 29% of students receiving need-based financial aid (averaging $21,000 at the middle school and $27,000 at the upper school), a limited merit scholarship program awarding up to $10,000, and an additional revenue stream from Florida's Family Empowerment Scholarship (FES-EO, FES-UA) administered by Step Up for Students. Philanthropic contributions through the Oxbridge Fund and Koch family donations form a secondary, material funding layer. The go-to-market is a traditional private-school admission funnel — inquiry via Veracross, campus visits, a $100 application fee, and either Early Decision or Rolling Decision review — supported by a four-person admission team and an institutional marketing presence across web, social, and earned media.
