The verified local directory
Here is the thing: when a family is relocating here, the school question is never one question. It is “which public academy will my kids actually attend,” “which private school is worth the drive,” and “who has a spot for my toddler this fall,” all at once. So I put every verified option in one honest place: the St. Johns County public campuses, the private schools, and the childcare and preschool providers serving Nocatee (32081) and Ponte Vedra / Ponte Vedra Beach (32082). No suspense, no gatekeeping, just the directory I actually use.
This is a locations directory, not a cost guide. Every provider sets its own tuition and enrollment policies, so confirm current availability, costs, and openings directly with each school or provider. Checked October 9, 2026.
Two GIS points on the map
These two came up as GIS points on the directory map. The pins show locations, not attendance zones, and they matter for different reasons: one is the campus the community long called by a different name, and the other is brand new. Both are worth knowing before you shortlist a home.
One of the two GIS points on the directory map. Locals have long called this campus "Line Island Academy," but the official district name is Pine Island Academy as shown here. This point sits just outside the 32081/32082 ZIP filter, so families in Nocatee’s southern villages should check whether they are actually zoned here.
805 Pine Island Rd, St. Augustine, FL 32095
Public · district directory entry
The second GIS point on the directory map. It is the brand-new K-8 academy for the 2026-27 school year, opening with kindergarten through 7th grade and adding 8th grade the following year.

Public · district directory entry
Nocatee · ZIP 32081
Most of Nocatee sits in St. Johns County and feeds the K-8 academies below plus Nease High School. The honest caveat: your exact address, not the ZIP, decides the assignment, and the district rebalances zones as it opens schools.
K-8 academy
The K-8 academy on the west side of the 32081 portion of Nocatee, one of the campuses parents in Crosswater and the western villages are zoned for.
105 Greenleaf Dr, Ponte Vedra, FL 32081
Public · St. Johns County district
K-8 academy
A K-8 academy serving sections of the 32081 Nocatee side, feeding Nease High School for most of the county portion.

Public · St. Johns County district
K-8 academy
The new K-8 academy opening for the 2026-27 school year on the Conservation Trail side of 32081. It will welcome kindergarten through 7th grade in its first yearCHECK, with 8th grade added the following year.
1515 Conservation Trail, Ponte Vedra, FL 32081
Public · St. Johns County district
High school · 9-12
The St. Johns County high school most of the 32081 Nocatee side feeds into. Students from the academies above attend here unless zoning says otherwise.
10550 Ray Road, Ponte Vedra, FL 32081
Public · St. Johns County district
High school · 9-12
The coastal-side high school at 460 Davis Park Road. Here is the part that confuses people: even though the campus physically sits off Davis Park Road near Nocatee, Nocatee students do not attend by address. Ponte Vedra High serves the coast-side kids of Ponte Vedra Beach, the 32082 side. The only way a Nocatee student attends is by being accepted into one of its academies: standard attendance is address-driven and does not draw from Nocatee. Verify the exact zone with the St. Johns County Attendance Zone Locator before you commit.

Public · St. Johns County district
Ponte Vedra Beach · ZIP 32082
The 32082 side is the beach-side story: Landrum Middle feeds Ponte Vedra High, and the elementary choice depends on which street band your address falls in, including the two-campus PVPV-Rawlings split.
Elementary · Pre-K through 5
The elementary school on the Landrum Lane side of 32082. One of the angles to check before buying: which campus (Ocean Palms, Landrum, or PVPV-Rawlings) your exact street feeds, because the boundaries do not follow the ZIP line.
355 Landrum Lane, Ponte Vedra Beach, FL 32082
Public · St. Johns County district
Middle · 6-8
The district middle school at Landrum Lane on the 32082 side, feeding Ponte Vedra High School for most of the beach-side zone.

Elementary · VPK-2 and 3-5 split
The Ponte Vedra Palm Valley-Rawlings school runs as a two-campus split: VPK-2 at one address and 3-5 at the other, per the district’s October 2025 newsletter. Confirm which campus your address feeds at the district’s zoning page.

Private campuses
Each of these sets its own tuition, financial aid, and enrollment window, so the honest move is to go straight to the source before you fall in love with a calendar.

Preschool & childcare
For the under-five set, the question is usually waitlists and start dates, not branding. Every provider controls its own enrollment, so the only reliable step is calling each one directly.

Before you shortlist
Which attendance zone is this exact address in for the 2026-27 school year, not what the community marketing says?
For the 32082 side: do you feed Ocean Palms, Landrum, or one of the two PVPV-Rawlings campuses? The boundary follows streets, not the ZIP.
For the 32081 side: does the address feed Valley Ridge, Palm Valley, the new Sabal Crest, or the Duval County side of the line (Bartram Springs)?
If you are on the southern Nocatee edge, are you actually zoned for Pine Island Academy at 805 Pine Island Rd even though it sits outside the 32081 filter?
Has this zone changed recently, and does the district have a boundary change planned before you close?
Here is the thing: the school assignment on a listing is never the final word. Zones change, and the district re-draws boundaries as it opens campuses like Sabal Crest. That is exactly why the district's zoning and enrollment pages are linked above, and why I walk every relocating family through the actual answer for their exact address.
Directory data verified October 9, 2026 against St. Johns County School District pages (stjohns.k12.fl.us) and each school or provider's own official site, limited to ZIP 32081 and 32082. 22 verified entries: public academies and high schools, private campuses, and preschool / childcare providers. The two GIS points are shown as locations only. Attendance zones and boundaries change; always confirm with the district and the exact provider before you make an offer.
The directory is the starting point. If you want the version that starts with your exact address and your family's daily reality, we should talk. I will be honest about the tradeoffs, including when a community is the wrong fit.
