Renaissance Charter School at Tradition
Opened in August 2013, the Renaissance Charter School at Tradition is an approximately 64,466-square-foot campus designed for K–8. It's a popular choice for Tradition families, and it's expanding into high school — adding 9th and 10th grade through Tradition Prep, featuring the WISH curriculum (Wellness, Innovation, Science, and Health). Families can learn more and enroll through the school's own websites.
Western Grove School (New K–8)
Tradition is about to get even more family-friendly: construction has begun on Western Grove School, a state-of-the-art K–8 facility in the growing Western Grove (WeGro) district. A brand-new campus adds capacity and choice for families settling into that fast-developing part of Tradition.
Palm Pointe (FAU-Affiliated)
Palm Pointe serves roughly 1,600 students in grades K–8 and operates as a developmental research school affiliated with Florida Atlantic University — exploring modern teaching methods while reflecting the needs of families across the Treasure Coast. Its university connection makes it a distinctive option.

We can help you confirm this early in your home search so there are no surprises.
Preschools, Colleges & Beyond

- Indian River State College (IRSC): Affordable, well-regarded higher education with campuses serving the Treasure Coast.
- Florida Atlantic University (FAU): A major public university with a strong regional presence and the Palm Pointe affiliation.
Buying near a specific school? Verify boundaries first
If a certain school is a deal-breaker, confirm the current assignment and any charter/lottery details before you write an offer — boundaries and enrollment policies change. We'll help you check assignment for any Tradition address and find homes that line up with your school goals.
