Message from Sarah Donovan,  Principal of The Extended Educational Programs

The excitement and emotions of graduation have wrapped around us at The First Academy. It is a time of reflection and nostalgia of taking the great leap into college. As our seniors at The Classical School and The First Academy’s 5 Day program take the walk toward their future on Friday night, I am reminded of what inspired me at that age. My dad often wrote quotes inside special books or cards during milestone moments of my life. Here is the quote he wrote to me as I began my journey to college, “The journey between what you once were and who you are now becoming is where the dance of life really takes place.” To the graduating seniors: enjoy the dance, be strong Christian leaders as you enter these new worlds, and take advantage of opportunities to travel and experience this beautiful world. To all Extended Educational Program families, please join me in praying for the Class of 2016. We are so proud of you all!

Message from Mrs. Grayson Merritt, Director/Assistant Principal

As I reflect back over our last 10 months together, I am filled with such an amazing sense of love!  What an incredible joy we have had serving your precious families.  We are humbled by your generous support and outstanding encouragement this year.  I am so thankful to the countless hours of planning, praying and dedication the teachers have poured into your children.  Most importantly, I am thankful to each of YOU who have entrusted your most valuable treasure into not only our school this past year but also our hearts.  We will miss those of you who will not be here this summer joining us for summer camp.  We wish you well!  Enjoy your summer and we look forward to welcoming you back in August.
