The Bolles School is an American private and independent college preparatory day and boarding school in Jacksonville, Florida governed by a self-perpetuating Board of Trustees. It has a lower school (including pre-kindergarten), a middle school, and a high school, spread across four campuses around the Jacksonville area, and enrolls about 1,800 students a year. The school was founded in 1933 as an all-boys military academy. It dropped its military focus in 1962 and its athletics programs have been recognized as some of the best in the Florida High School Athletic Association by Sports Illustrated magazine.
