The GFLedu.org website is part of an initiative spearheaded by the Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance, in partnership with the Broward County Public Schools; a consortium of the county’s private, religion-based, and charter schools; area university presidents; and educational and economic organizations, groups, and individuals. We are united in our belief that the state of education in Greater Fort Lauderdale/ Broward County is worth talking about and is a topic anyone considering a move to the area wishes to discuss.

Greater Fort Lauderdale’s robust educational system provides a strong foundation for the region’s high quality of life, offering a wide array of programs to meet the individual learning styles of students and their families. Along with high-quality public, independent, and private schools, the region’s colleges, universities, and vocational facilities are committed to creating career opportunities and building a skilled workforce.

This website’s purpose is to provide easy access to data about the county’s educational resources, and a portal to each individual school’s website for more in-depth information. To learn more, contact Randall Deich, Director– Talent Attraction and Education, for the Greater Fort Lauderdale Alliance at [email protected].

Testimonials

Marian Wright Edelman, a children’s rights advocate, said ‘Education is for improving the lives of others and for leaving your community and world better than you found it,’ which is demonstrated by the graduates of Broward County schools. Broward County high school graduates are workforce ready, easing the hiring needs of the business community. For those graduates who continue their education, they are primed for success in college, and enthused to return to Broward County upon graduation.

My two children have been given such an unbelievable opportunity within the Weston Public Schools to truly thrive and, as parents, we have been provided such amazing resources to ensure they have a defined path to not only the next level, but a clear direction to scholarships, advanced curriculum, and technology that top universities are looking for in their enrollment. The road to success is clear, and as a proud AutoNation associate, we are always looking for driven individuals and our schools make for a fun and engaging trip to that destination.

In Broward County, we are very proud of the quality of our schools and are really excited about the direction and progress being made. The business community really values our Broward County Public Schools and we got behind the half mil tax increase to go to teacher’s salaries because of our trust in our school leaders. That says a lot.
