Faith Academy

He comes in with 6 credits as a junior. He needs 23 to graduate. He's already repeated two grades. He's been told - more than once - that he probably isn't going to walk.

His teacher sits down with him his first week and says, "Let's see how many you can earn this semester. Not all of them. Just as many as you can."

He earns 4. Then 4. Then 4 more. He shows up to campus day every week, sits down, and does the work.

The diploma is back on the table.

The traditional school told him the math didn't work. We just did the math with him.

Faith Academy has been doing this since 1987. If your student has been told they're not going to graduate - we'll meet them where they are.

Christ-centered isn't a schedule. It's not a building. It's how every assignment, every book, every conversation frames the world. Our curriculum is built on a Christian worldview - Bible, literature, science, history. Students engage with the material on their own schedule, and the worldview travels with them.

We don't apologize for it. We don't water it down. We just teach it.

Parents ask us this. It's a fair question - and one we've been answering for almost 40 years.

The short answer is yes. But not the way most people picture "independent."

Here's what independence actually looks like at Faith Academy:

📚 Weekly assignments, completed on the student's schedule
🏫 One day a week on campus to turn in work, ask questions, and connect with teachers
✍️ Midterms and finals taken in person, on campus
👩‍🏫 Faculty available every week for one-on-one help when a student gets stuck
📊 Progress tracked with weekly reports - so nothing slips through the cracks

Independent doesn't mean alone. It means flexible enough for a student who works part-time, trains for athletics, cares for a sibling, or simply learns differently.
