Welcome to The First Academy

Thank you for taking time to visit our website. My prayer is that as you read more about The First Academy you will sense our passion to teach the mind and reach the heart of every student enrolled. The essence of our school is best described as “definitively Christ-centered, distinctly college-prep.”

The First Academy is committed to working alongside families who are firm in their resolve to provide their children with a Christ-centered education that is uncompromising in its academic, athletic, and artistic excellence. We have a strong need-based tuition assistance program and we are working diligently to build endowment resources to further expand this program.

We are striving to improve ourselves individually and as an institution. We believe that God equips each of us uniquely and specifically to fulfill His purpose. Our exceptionally qualified faculty work to unlock the strength of each student in academics, athletics, and the fine arts, and seeks to send each student to the college or university of his/her choice, well-prepared and well-equipped for a life-long commitment to learning, service, and character.

If you are considering our school as your family’s education partner, I invite you to visit our campus in person to fully experience all that is The First Academy.
