Gulf Stream School traces its beginnings to 1938 when Ada Belle and William Johnston took polo stables in the small town of Gulf Stream, 15 miles south of Palm Beach, and founded a seasonal school for students whose families came to enjoy the pleasant winter climate. With the addition of two more polo stables from Mr. John Phipps, Gulf Stream became a boarding school which it remained for 10 years. As the School grew and the demand for a day school became apparent, boarding was phased out. Nearly 25 years after its founding, with the Johnstons about to retire, the School was transferred to a foundation in order to safeguard its continued operation, and in 1962 its first Board of Trustees was chosen. Today the current Head of School leads a vibrant day school that serves children from many surrounding communities.
The School and its campus have evolved significantly since the first seasonal students arrived in 1938. Dedicated trustees, parents, friends, and alumni have enabled the School to expand, improving its facilities with the construction of the Bernet Library, Sylvester Computer Laboratory, Sylvester Field House, Clough Chapel, classrooms, and science laboratories. Despite its growth, the School upholds many of its traditions and continues to offer a challenging academic program within a welcoming and supportive environment.
