History By January 1983, the Japanese community in the Miami area, including Broward County, sought to establish a weekend Japanese school. The expected number of children from Broward County was 20-25. The Florida Committee for the Establishment of a Japanese Language School formed to hammer out how to create a hoshuko. The initial plan was to create such a school in Broward County. Pine Crest School in Fort Lauderdale was a proposed location. - Clipping of first and of second page from Newspapers.com. In February 1983 the plan was instead to open the school at David Fairchild Elementary School, - Clipping from Newspapers.com.
