Jan 20, 2025, West Palm, CW34: New autism-focused school coming to Port St. Lucie, opening in 2026
Construction is underway on a new autism-focused school in St. Lucie County, giving families on the Treasure Coast another educational option designed specifically for students on the autism spectrum.
Ground has been broken for the Treasure Coast School for Autism, a public charter school expanding from Palm Beach County into Port St. Lucie. The school is set to open for the 2026–2027 school year, starting with pre-kindergarten through second grade.
For months, CBS12 News has spoken with Port St. Lucie parents who say they have been trying to find the right educational support for their children with autism. . . .
The Treasure Coast School for Autism will begin with about 70 students in its first year, intentionally starting small. Leaders say grades will be added year by year, with long-term plans to eventually serve students into young adulthood.
Regional Executive Director Ann Eisenberg says the school is designed to fill a gap many families say has been missing. . . .
The charter school is set to open in August 2026, with registration opening January 26th.
