What Legacy High School does

Legacy High School is a private alternative middle and high school located at 125 E NASA Blvd, Suite 101, Melbourne, Florida, serving neurodiverse and neurotypical students in grades 7-12. Founded in 2022 by Pamela Furr as the secondary-school extension of Puzzle Box Academy (her earlier autism-focused early intervention organization founded in 2014), the school operates with a 10:1 student-faculty ratio, a year-round July-through-June calendar, and a no-uniform, day-only model. The educational approach is rooted in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and delivered through Individualized Education Plans (IEPs), calm sensory-adapted classrooms, and the MindMeld Aspire educator training program (Levels I-IV).

The school's product surface comprises three academic pathways — Standard (24 credits), Honors (26 credits), and a Dual Enrollment pathway through Liberty University that allows qualified juniors and seniors to earn an Associate (AA) degree — plus the Legacy Launch Pad transition program for young adults aged 18+, Trade Bound vocational internships in Brevard County, an athletics program, and individualized tutoring. Proprietary differentiators include the ABA-rooted IEP framework, the year-round schedule designed to prevent summer slide and emotional disruption, and purpose-built sensory-calibrated learning environments.

Legacy High School generates revenue primarily through annual tuition of $16,650 per student, supplemented by a $350 application fee, a $600 technology and activity fee, and a $600 materials fee, all administered via the FACTS payment plan. The school accepts Florida Family Empowerment Scholarships and Step Up For Students scholarships, and offers an internal Rodger Billings Scholarship (up to $912/year) and needs-based Financial Flex Tuition. Go-to-market relies on direct admissions via campus tours, content marketing through the school website and social channels (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram), and community referrals within Brevard County. The school is recognized as a Step Up For Students Rising Star School and is led by a full executive team including Founder/CEO Pamela Furr, COO Stephanie Furr, and CIO Jon Delmater.
