ABOUT GREAT LEAPS ACADEMY

Great Leaps Academy, located in Brevard County, empowers exceptional learners aged 3–7 through individualized, holistic education in a supportive environment. We focus on each child’s unique needs with tailored plans developed alongside BCBAs, addressing communication, social, academic, and behavioral growth.Through evidence-based practices and low student-to-teacher ratios, we provide focused instruction and closely monitor each child’s progress. We also collaborate with JMS Therapy Services and the Eastern Florida Autism Center, both located on campus, to provide a seamless support system that addresses each child’s unique needs. Our dedicated team partners with families to build a consistent, nurturing environment, one where every child can take great leaps toward reaching their full potential.

OUR APPROACH

At Great Leaps Academy, every student begins with an assessment to establish individualized goals across communication, social, motor, academic, and behavioral skills. With low student-to-teacher ratios, we provide personalized support and use evidence-based strategies such as proactive behavior interventions, precision teaching, and hands-on learning with manipulatives. Guided by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, our program emphasizes clear expectations, consistent routines, and repetition to reinforce learning. This structured yet supportive approach ensures each child makes meaningful progress toward lasting success.

OUR MISSION

At Great Leaps Academy, our mission is to nurture the whole child by fostering academic growth, social development, positive behavior, and independent living skills. Through the collaboration of analysts, teachers, and support staff, we provide individualized support that empowers every student to achieve their fullest potential.
