Florida Intercultural Academy Overview

Broward County is an evolving, eclectic community composed of people with diverse ethnic, socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. Together, these parents and others in Broward County will build the Florida diversityIntercultural Academy where unity in diversity is celebrated.

The Florida Intercultural Academy (FIA) opened as a private charter in the fall of 2005. FIA is a free, public school. There is no entrance exam or tuition. FIA received its charter from the School Board of Broward County in December of 2004. FIA is open for K through 6th Grade 2007-2008. Middle Grades 7th
and 8th will be added subsequently.

Neighborhood schools are too big and suffer programmatic deficiencies. Frustrated with such lack of opportunity, parents throughout Broward are voicing full support of charter schools. FIA parents and students will experience the feeling of a private education within a tuition-free school.

The primary role of the elementary school is to provide an education in the basics: reading, writing, and mathematics. FIA goes a step further by preparing our students to be prepared to be citizens of the world. We create multicultural classrooms in which all students are active learners. Our multicultural program combines teaching students about world cultures with the talents of our diverse student population. Our lessons will be imaginative, engaging, and incorporate many different methods of learning.

Our program of multicultural education is a part of the Broward Schools District policy.
