Welcome to The Broach Schools!

The Broach School was created more than 35 years ago with an emphasis on small campuses and low student to teacher ratios in a loving, caring classroom setting. Our mission is to create a nurturing, learning environment where students are motivated to succeed. We go the extra mile to help our students.

History:
The Broach School was started by Dr. Tommie Broach in 1973 to meet the ever-increasing need for quality individual instruction. She founded the school to help students who were getting lost in overcrowded classrooms by giving each student the complete, personal attention of their teacher. In 1999 Dr. Broach was named Distinguished Educator of the Year for her work with Florida's children. Today The Broach School is continuing to reach new heights by helping students overcome learning disabilities and gain confidence in the classroom.

Our Program:
The Broach School models the one room schoolhouse method of early American education. Each course is designed to take students from a point of weakness to a point of strength. Students are taught individually in small groups to ensure every student can proceed at his or her own pace without losing the value of a shared classroom experience. The Broach School has a hands-on, active learning approach that includes field trips, speakers and special projects. Assignments are generally completed at school, eliminating parent frustration in supervising homework, although students are encouraged to read, study and complete unfinished work at home.

Locations and Accreditation:
We serve students at four campus in Jacksonville and four in South Florida. Each campus is accredited or a candidate for accreditation with the Commission on International and Transregional Accreditation and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Our transcripts are accepted by public and private schools and colleges. The Broach School is dedicated to maintaining high academic standards.

Tuition and Scholarships:
Although each student’s tuition is individualized based on academic need, a general schedule of tuition, fees and extended payment plans are available upon request. Tuition scholarships are available through Florida’s McKay Scholarship Program for Students with Disabilities, Step Up for Students and Broach Scholars for families demonstrating economic need. Our school office can provide information on how to qualify for these scholarships.
