The Discovery School

The Discovery School is a private Jacksonville Beach school at 102 South 15th Street, in a residential block rather than a large suburban campus. Google’s operational Places listing matches that name and address, with phone (904) 247-4577. The stored card has no star rating and no review count, which is ordinary for some independent schools and is not treated here as a failed 1-to-10 match on a famous university. Stay Safe Jax therefore shows headline 0. No Yelp snapshot is stored. Private School Review describes Discovery as an independent day school mixing Montessori work with the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme for children from about 18 months through eighth grade, with a few hundred students and rolling admission. GreatSchools lists Discovery Montessori School at the same 15th Street address as a private PK–8 program. Those directory pages are not live report cards on this Stay Safe Jax page, and they are not invented parent reviews. Google’s hours snapshot is Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Saturday and Sunday closed. Google also marks wheelchair parking and a wheelchair entrance; it does not confirm a wheelchair restroom. Stay Safe Jax did not walk the campus. Pickup and drop-off sit on a neighborhood street, which is the practical issue residents have actually reported. In January 2026, News4JAX covered Jacksonville Beach neighbors, including Donnie Brzuska, who circulated a petition about drop-off and pickup traffic next to homes. The school’s head, Petra Obritzberger, said drop-off is staggered and that the campus does not sit on an intersection that requires a crossing guard. A city spokesperson told News4JAX staff were working with residents and school leaders and that the school was operating in compliance with applicable requirements. Action News Jax and a LocalLens recap of a May city-council comment period covered the same traffic and expansion debate. That is a sourced neighborhood traffic story, not a license revocation or a child-safety scandal invented for this page. Open flags stay at 0. Families comparing Beaches education options should treat this listing as a correctly matched private school with useful hours and address, no stored Google score, and public reporting about street congestion at arrival and dismissal. It is not Bolles, not Episcopal, and not a public Duval school.
