The Right School for the Right Reasons
At TFA, we understand each family has unique needs and goals and have found several common motivators that inspire parents to explore new school options for their children.
Better Academics
More Opportunities
Healthier Environment
Christian Alignment
Student Buy-In
Tuition that Fits
Being clear about your motivations for making a move can help your family know the right school when you see it.
The Right Alignment
As your child becomes a teen — and then a young adult — they have more responsibility and more freedom. That’s why it’s essential that your family and the school are pulling in the same direction. Let’s explore 4 reasons why alignment is so important.
Environment
You want your son or daughter to be in a compassionate environment where they can build resilience, learn from their mistakes, and gain the confidence they need to navigate life.
Worldview
It’s not a matter of if but rather how school will shape your scholar’s worldview. You want to know that what they’re learning in the classroom will reinforce the principles you’ve taught at home.
Values
If you’re considering a Christian school, you likely want the faith-filled values you teach at home to be supported at school, not deconstructed.
Goals
You have aspirations for your scholar’s education:
The school you choose will be your partner in pursuing these goals.
Alignment is key for a successful long-term partnership between the home and school.
The Right Academics
You want a school you can trust to support both the academic and spiritual goals you have for your scholar.
What can your family expect from a partnership with The First Academy? Let’s take a look.
A Biblical Worldview
We believe every class, every conversation, and every event should point to Christ.
Whether your scholar is in a math class or studying literature, they’re encouraged to see how faith and learning connect. This holistic approach shapes how they view the world and prepares them to live out their faith in school and beyond.
A Rigorous Curriculum
We prepare for college, career, and calling.
We offer Advanced Placement and dual enrollment courses, as well as a capstone project that is completed throughout high school — all of which help your student stand out in the competitive college admissions process.
A Tailored Learning Experience
We focus on what’s most important to each student.
Not all students move at the same pace or have the same interests. That’s why our diverse course offerings fit their personal goals.
The Right Opportunities
There’s more to life than academics — and there’s more to TFA than just the classroom experience.
We offer many opportunities to discover new talents and pursue interests.
