Our Distinctions

4 Campuses

With four separate and distinct campuses, a Bolles education is both accessible and specifically designed for students of all ages. Our lower school campuses are located about 45 minutes from each other and each features a community spirit uniquely its own. Our middle school campus provides an opportunity for students in grades 6-8 to learn in an independent, college campus-like environment – the only middle school setting of its kind in our region. The Bolles Upper School San Jose Campus, an iconic and historic building on the St. Johns River, is the center of our Resident Life program and upper school life.

Global Community
