Paul & Maggie Fischer High School and Gymnasium

Davie, FL

Established in 1974 as an elementary school, the Jewish Day School has grown to accommodate 600+ students from K-12th grades. The high school, added in 1998, is regarded as Broward County’s premier Jewish college prep school. Supported and funded by parents, alumni, and the community, the Fischer High School and two-story gymnasium were expanded to 50,000 SF to keep pace with a growing student population. Fischer High offers sophisticated, tech-friendly classrooms, lecture hall, media production studio, and black box theater. The curriculum includes college-prep arts and science courses as well as Judaic studies and Hebrew language, and athletic excellence in tennis, swim, and basketball.

A new courtyard quadrangle connects the upper school to the lower and middle schools. It is adjacent to the multifunctional Jewish Community Center on a 40-acre campus, shared also by the Jewish Federation of Broward County.
