Freedom Christian Academy

Specialties

At the core of our beliefs about children is the knowledge that every one of them is a gift from God. As we partner with parents to train and teach their precious children, we are mindful of their differences because the Lord created them all for His purpose. Nurturing the treasure in each child in a safe environment is of the utmost importance if they are to reach their full potential. That is why teachers use a variety of strategies to enhance learning: group work, individualized instruction, creative fun, projects, drills, field trips, discussions, music, physical activity, and skits.

An Advisory Council of 10 committed believers from different local churches was commissioned to give direction and advice to the school leadership and to construct bylaws for governance. The affiliation with ACSI came shortly after and the commitment to accreditation was made by all shareholders.

Now in its fourth year of operation, Freedom has over 400 students including a Preschool. It offers AP and honors classes for the gifted, but also offers free tutoring for those who need a little ex
