Brent Goldman

CEO & co-founder, Xceed Preparatory Academy, Weston

Xceed Preparatory Academy is an accredited network of private schools serving grades 6-12 with campuses in Coral Springs, Kendall/Pinecrest, Weston, Palm Beach Gardens and Boca Raton. Xceed’s enrollment has doubled at its campuses over the last several years, especially in the post-COVID environment as wealthy northerners migrated to Florida. Florida’s expanded voucher program has also boosted enrollment at private institutions. Goldman, a former public-school teacher, ventured into private school education in 1996. He co-founded and served as head of school at The Sagemont School in Weston for 21 years and also co-founded Smart Horizons Career Online Education. He co-founded Xceed in 2016 with his father, Richard Goldman, a former Nova Southeastern University dean.
