Port Orange, Florida
Part of a greater metropolitan area of East Central
Florida, the City of Port Orange is near the confluence
of two major interstate highways that provide quick,
easy access to the third largest consumer region in the
United States with a population of more than 17 million.
International airports in Daytona Beach and Orlando,
railroad and nearby port facilities enhance Port
Orange’s efforts to provide a cost effective and
logistically important location to do business while
providing an exceptional quality of life.
From an award-winning municipal complex to the
quality businesses and housing developments that serve
the community, Port Orange is a leader in community
design, growth management, environmental protection
and public services.
Excellent schools and leisure activities, picturesque
tree-lined streets and exceptional civic facilities/services
foster an environment where families can live, work,
play, learn and grow. Residents take pride in the
diverse opportunities for waterfront relaxation,
abundant shopping and fine restaurants. The historic
town center along the riverfront is under development
as a river walk and natural park area.
“Unique by choice, not by chance” is
more than the
city’s motto, it’s a creed. The city staff takes great pride
in the delivery of services and constantly strives to
make Port Orange the best it can be.

Educational Achievement At Spruce Creek
The Spruce Creek IB program is now the 4th largest in the world! Only the MARA College of Malaysia, the United World College of SE Asia/Singapore, and the Seven Oaks School of the UK, surpass Creek in the number of IB exams administered. We actually had more candidates than two of these schools, but we administered fewer exams.
The really fantastic news is that for the first time in school history Spruce Creek is the #1 program in North America. With more than 500 schools in this region, this status is truly a tribute to the students, teachers, and families who make up the Creek IB program.
