Join us today!

If you are interested in joining us we would love to have you.

Due to how our curriculum works we are able to accept new students only prior to the start of a teaching block which is typically 8 weeks for sword classes and 6 months for bagpipe classes.

We are now taking registrations for a new beginner’s sword class starting on March 23, 2026 and a new beginner’s bagpipe class starting on April 1, 2026.

Registration Fee

When you join the Palm Beach Sword School you will need to pay an initial Registration Fee. This fee is important for insurance and covers membership to the Palm Beach Sword School.

Students can either register as a Sword Student, a Bagpiping Student, or a Combined Student.

Upon registering sword students receive a FREE fencing mask and their training shirt. Bagpipe students receive their practise chanter (training instrument for bagpipes). Combined students receive their fencing mask, practise chanter, and training shirt.

The registration fee also includes the first year membership fee of $25. All registered students are able to access reduced cost crafting classes and other student benefits.

The current Registration fee is $150.00 or $225 for Combined Students.

Sword Class Costs

New students pay $250 for 8 weeks of beginner training which covers basic combat training and Scottish Broadsword. During their beginner training students receive a FREE nylon training sword.

Bagpipe Class Costs

Students who are already enrolled in Sword classes are able to take bagpiping lessons for free after paying a $75 instrument fee which covers the cost of the practise instrument.

Students looking to ONLY take bagpiping lessons can pay the reduced monthly fee of $80 every 4 weeks. This gives them access to the bagpiping lessons and the reduced rate crafting lessons but not access to Sword lessons.

You will be charged $150 registration fee if only doing sword classes or $225 if doing sword and bagpipe classes.
