Mission Statement:
The mission of Puzzle Box Academy is to provide comprehensive, individualized, science-based education not available in our community.

We also make our facility available for Speech and Occupational Therapy from other providers.
Philosophy/Belief Statement:
Education at Puzzle Box Academy Is:
Highly individualized with an extremely low student-to-teacher ratio
Comprehensive, covering routine academic topics to practical life skills.
Science-based using Applied Behavior Analysis and Morningside Curriculum models.
Engaging and challenging, yet nurturing.
Designed to help develop your child.
School History:
Puzzle Box Academy was founded in 2014 by Pamela Furr and James Holz. Pamela, a mother of a child with Autism, saw the need for high-quality early intervention. So they set out to provide a school where families could rely on their children to get the special attention they deserved without the obstacles most families face in public schools. Pamela believed families should focus on what is important at home; confidence, security, love, and acceptance of our children's quirks. Families should not have to battle the system for the special environments their children need to thrive.
Puzzle Box Academy is the first school in Florida to provide the Morningside Academy Curriculum and teaching methodology and follow Florida State Standards. The Morningside Model of Generative Instruction combines precision teaching specific basic skills through guided intensive instruction and practice followed by opportunities for generalizing learning to the wider world. Through this evidence-based model, complex behavioral skills emerge without explicit instruction when well-selected component responses are appropriately sequenced, carefully instructed, and well-rehearsed.
We encourage you to learn more about our autism schools for students with developmental delays. There's a Puzzle Box Academy near you with Palm Bay, Melbourne, Rockledge, and coming soon, Viera.
