Brevard Schools & Family Resources

Public

Brevard Public Schools

One countywide district with about 80 schools, consistently among Florida's higher performers. Beachside schools like Satellite High and the Viera and Suntree zones (Viera High, Quest and Manatee Elementary) are especially sought after. Zoning goes by address and can change, so always verify before you buy.

Magnet and Choice

Choice and magnet programs

West Shore Jr/Sr High and Edgewood Jr/Sr High are top-ranked choice schools that admit by application. Other options include STEM, IB, and career academy programs at several high schools. Applications usually open in winter for the next school year.

Charter

Charter schools

Tuition-free options like Odyssey, Imagine at West Melbourne, Pineapple Cove Classical, Viera Charter, and Palm Bay Academy. Each has its own enrollment window and many use a lottery, so apply early.

Private

Private schools

Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy, Melbourne Central Catholic, Florida Air Academy, Brevard Christian, and Divine Mercy Catholic are popular picks. Many families also use Florida's state scholarship programs, which can help with private school tuition.

Pre-K

Free Pre-K (VPK)

Florida offers free Voluntary Prekindergarten for four-year-olds at many public schools and private centers across Brevard.

Higher Ed

Colleges

Florida Tech in Melbourne, Eastern Florida State College with campuses in Melbourne, Cocoa, Titusville, and Palm Bay, and UCF's Palm Bay campus. Dual enrollment lets high schoolers earn college credit for free.

Good schools, big backyards, and a plan.
