JUPITER, Fla. — The Edna W. Runner Education Center in Jupiter is opening a brand-new elementary school, welcoming kindergarten and first-grade students with a promise of small class sizes and personalized attention.
Founded in 1986, the center has long served at-risk youth through after-school programs, seasonal camps, and character development initiatives.
Now, with this expansion, leaders aim to address gaps in traditional public-school settings by focusing on literacy, STEM, and building strong foundations for young learners.
The school will add a grade level each year, growing alongside its students. Director of Education Maria Lloyd — a longtime Palm Beach County principal — says the program is designed to help children thrive academically and personally.
