Welcome to Legacy High School, where being different is the norm and learning is an adventure. We’re a vibrant community of thinkers, dreamers, and doers who believe that education should be more than just a curriculum; it should be an empowering experience that shapes futures and celebrates individuality.
Our doors are open to neurodiverse and neurotypical students alike—because we know that diversity enriches our community and makes learning more exciting. We combine cutting-edge technology with hands-on activities to make learning engaging and effective. With our small class sizes, your child will receive the attention they deserve. Our teachers are more than educators—they’re mentors, cheerleaders, and guides on each student’s journey to greatness.
At Legacy, we turn learning gaps into launching pads. With a strong emphasis on cultivating critical academic, social, and emotional skills, we equip our students to tackle challenges with confidence and resilience. Whether your teen is catching up or soaring ahead, we offer courses that challenge and inspire. These include options for credit recovery and the opportunity to earn college credits with Liberty University.
So, if you’re ready to be part of a school as exceptional as your child, join the Legacy family. Here, we don’t just think outside the box—we reinvent it. Let’s build their future together, one unique learner at a time.
At Legacy High School, our mission is to provide an environment that empowers every student to learn, grow, and create their own legacy. We offer individualized, science-based education tailored to celebrate each student’s unique strengths—embracing neurodiversity and empowering all learners. Our innovative curriculum rooted in Applied Behavior Analysis inspires students to reach their full academic and social potential while enjoying the journey.
“Families should be able to focus on what matters most: confidence, security, love, and embracing our children’s quirks. They shouldn’t have to battle the system to find the special environments where their children can truly thrive.”
Pamela Furr, Co-Founder
At Legacy High School, we believe that education is not just about academics—it’s about building character, fostering community, and inspiring each other to make a difference. To encourage positive behaviors and help our students grow into amazing individuals, we’ve created our L.E.G.A.C.Y. Values. These aren’t just words on a page; they’re the heart and soul of our school culture. We’ll celebrate students who embody these values throughout the year, sharing their achievements and milestones with parents and the entire Legacy family. Our vision is to instill in every student the understanding that they’re not just learning—they’re leaving a legacy as they journey through life.
It all began in 2014 with a mother’s love and vision for her child. Pamela Furr, our co-founder, recognized the need for high-quality early intervention in Brevard County for children diagnosed on the autism spectrum—just like her son. Driven by her passion, she established Puzzle Box Academy, a place where young children could receive the support they needed to thrive. As her son grew, Pamela realized that older neurodiverse and exceptional students also needed a nurturing environment tailored to their unique strengths. This realization sparked the creation of Legacy High School—a place where young adults could continue their academic journeys in an accepting and inclusive community, providing the reassurance and confidence every parent seeks for their child’s education. By 2022, Puzzle Box Academy had proudly served over 100 families across Brevard County, expanding to three locations dedicated to supporting students at different stages of their educational journey. In Rockledge, our ABA Therapy clinic and pre-K program provide early intervention services and foundational education for young children. Our elementary school in Palm Bay continues the journey, offering ABA Therapy and personalized education to help students grow academically and socially. In Melbourne, Legacy High School serves middle and high school students, creating a vibrant community where neurodiverse and neurotypical students alike can thrive and reach their full potential. Today, we’re proud to be a part of the lives of hundreds of students and families who’ve walked through our doors. We celebrate every milestone, from academic successes to personal victories—and look forward to many more years of inspiring growth and empowering futures.
We are a multidisciplinary team based in Melbourne, Florida with a passion for helping each and every child succeed.

A parentally-placed private school student with a disability does not have an individual right to receive some or all of the special education and related services that some or all of the special education and associated services would receive if enrolled in a public school under the Individuals with Disabilities Act (I.D.E.A.).
P.B.A. can accommodate the unique needs of most children and will do so whenever feasible. In those situations, we will work with the parent(s)/guardian(s) to develop a partnership with those parent(s)/guardian(s), teachers, and support professionals to determine the best way to help the child be successful in our setting. We work with our clinical patterns to offer eligible students applied behavioral analysis (A.B.A.) services. We also allow third-party therapists, including but not limited to speech, occupational, A.B.A., and physical therapists arranged by the parent(s)/guardian(s) and at their or their insurance’s expense to provide service at P.B.A.’s discretion so long as they can pass background checks for the safety of our students. In addition, support professionals are welcome to conduct periodic observations of children during the school day. Sessions and observations need to be scheduled with the school director and teachers.
Parents must sign a permission form for support professionals to communicate with the school staff. Our administrators will keep that permission form in the student’s file for enrollment, and it may be updated at the parent(s)/guardian(s) request.
Please ask our school director for additional questions regarding students with differing needs.
