What Various does

Eureka Educational Academy is a private, Florida-based K-12 institution serving approximately 35 students from PreK through 12th grade, with a specialization in students requiring individualized education plans (IEPs) and 504 accommodation plans due to disabilities. Founded in 1950 and headquartered in Palmetto Bay, the school combines core academic subjects (math, science, language arts, social studies) with specialized programs in farming, gardening, and life skills. Its distinguishing service is the integration of ABA therapy, speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy directly into the school day, eliminating the need for families to coordinate external therapy appointments.

The school's revenue model is tuition-based at $27,800 per year for PK-5 for the 2025-2026 school year, supplemented by a $150 registration fee and a $350 curriculum fee, with additional revenue from before/after care services. It accepts three state-administered scholarship programs — Florida Tax Credit, Gardiner, and John McKay — through Step Up For Students, which serve as both a funding channel and a distribution mechanism reaching eligible families. Rolling enrollment is offered throughout the academic year, with private tours and consultations as the primary go-to-market motion.

Operationally, the school is small and labor-intensive, with approximately 8 employees and a leadership team headed by Director Damarys Clement. The institution operates from a single campus with no evidence of multi-site expansion, technology platforms, or external investment; ownership is independent and management-operated. Marketing is limited to a website, Facebook, and Instagram presence, with no formal outbound sales infrastructure.
