Polk County, Florida is a great place to live, work, and play...
One of the great things about working in Polk County is living in Polk County! Located in the center of Florida's citrus belt between Orlando and Tampa, Polk County's green landscape is dotted with more than 600 spring-fed lakes where boating, water-skiing and fishing are popular activities. Local attractions, such as Cypress Gardens and Bok Tower Gardens, take advantage of the beautiful county side and lush vegetation.
The area's 485,000 residents live in 17 small cities and towns where friendliness and Southern hospitality are a way of life. The mild Florida climate allows year-round outdoor activities, including major and minor league baseball. A variety of musical and theatrical groups perform throughout the county, and The Lakeland Center attracts top-name entertainment.
Polk County is only an hour away from great cultural and sporting events in Orlando and Tampa, and less than two hours from the beaches on either coast. It's a great place to live, work, and play! Here are many of the reasons why you'll love living and teaching in the 'Heart of Florida': http://www.discoveryacademy.org/great_living.htm
