The Palm Beach County School of the Arts was the original performing, fine arts and communications magnet school for Palm Beach County, Florida. Founded in 1989 as a middle/high school it grew class year by class year into that mission. In 1998 the school was split into a high school, the Dreyfoos School of the Arts on another campus, and the Middle School of the Arts, which later became the BAK Middle School of the Arts on the existing campus.
