Welcome to Brevard Public Schools
VISION
Brevard Public Schools will serve its community and enhance students’ lives by delivering the highest quality education in a culture of dedication, collaboration and learning.
MISSION
To serve every student with excellence as the standard.
The 2021-22 school year presents an unprecedented set of circumstances with multiple educational options available to Brevard’s students and families. Despite the differences this year, Brevard Public Schools (BPS) is committed to its mission and
strives to provide students with the highest-quality education in a safe, supportive environment.
BPS students, whether learning in person or remotely, are engaged in challenging and varied curriculum. Students can still choose from a wide range of learning opportunities including Career and
Technical Education (CTE) programs, dual-enrollment courses with local colleges and universities, and choice schools focusing on science, technology, engineering, arts, and math.
As an “A” district and recipient of the prestigious Cognia System Accreditation, the top priority remains the safety and well-being of our students. Every school is served by a team which includes law enforcement and mental-health experts, and all campuses are safeguarded with a single, secure
point of access. Furthermore, the district’s mental health plan provides direct access to a range of mental health supports for students and families
and promotes a positive school climate.
BPS is committed to serving the community and enhancing students’ lives by delivering the highest quality education in a culture of dedication, collaboration, and learning. To learn more about Brevard Public Schools and parent involvement opportunities, you are encouraged to visit the BPS website, www.brevardschools.org and to contact your school’s administration.
What makes up our district?
With 84 schools, 15 specialty centers, one virtual school, and
13 charter schools, the district educates its students in 17 different municipalities across the Space Coast. Brevard Public Schools is the 49th largest district in the U.S. and the 10th largest of the
67 districts in Florida.
In the 2019-20, school and district grades were not reported by
the state due to COVID, and BPS did not opt in to grade reporting for the 2020-21 school year. As the largest employer in Brevard County, BPS employs approximately 9,300 staff members who serve more than 73,000 students annually. More than half of BPS teachers have over 10 years of experience.
