A private Christian school in Ponte Vedra, opening August 2027
Forming Character. Pursuing Excellence.
Kingsminster Ponte Vedra is a Christ-centered, college-preparatory K-8 independent school taking shape on an 11-acre campus in Nocatee. We believe faith and academic excellence belong together—and we are building a place where your child is known by name, challenged to think, and formed in truth, wisdom, and courage. Applications are now open for grades K-7.
The Kingsminster difference
Where faith and academic excellence are held in equal measure
For families in Ponte Vedra and Nocatee, the search often comes down to a hard choice: a rigorous school or a faith-centered one. Kingsminster exists to refuse that compromise. As a Christ-centered, college-preparatory independent school, we join elite academics with spiritual formation in small, relationship-rich classrooms—so students grow in knowledge, character, and the calling to lead.

The values at the heart of a Kingsminster education
Book. Cross. Crown.
Our crest is more than a symbol—it names what we form in every student. These three elements guide the way we teach, worship, and lead together.
The Book
The pursuit of knowledge grounded in truth and wisdom. Our college-preparatory academics challenge students to think deeply and learn with purpose.
The Cross
Christ-centered formation and spiritual growth woven through daily life, worship, and the way we treat one another.
The Crown
Christ as King and the calling to leadership. We form students with the character and courage to serve and lead well.

Why Ponte Vedra and Nocatee families choose Kingsminster
Many families come to us frustrated by overcrowded or rezoned schools and the weak relationships that come with them. Kingsminster is designed differently—intentionally small, intentionally close, intentionally formed around each child.
Small class sizes
Relationship-rich classrooms where every student is known, supported, and challenged by teachers who have the time to teach well.
Christ-centered formation
Faith is not an add-on—it shapes our academics, community, and character formation every day.
