Honestly, as my son was successfully completing 5th grade, we never considered The Founders Academy as the right fit for us. I have been working in public schools for 15 years. I am a strong advocate for supporting our local public schools. He is a good student, an athlete, and gets along great with his peers. He will do fine at Southside and we still believe he would have.
He chose The Founders Academy. We toured both schools and reviewed all things to be considered for his 6th grade education. Having the opportunity to make this choice for himself has been the greatest gift. He chooses to work hard and take advantage of variety of learning that takes place at The Founders Academy (even chorus). He chooses to make learning a priority and enjoys the challenge of the curriculum. We believe that The Founders Academy has helped make Adam a strong student and community member because he learned how to educate himself on his school options to choose the best fit for him." - A current 6th grade parent
