Academic Programs

Our academic programs balance structured learning with creative play, designed to challenge and inspire students at each grade level. We cultivate a nurturing environment where foundational skills and imaginative exploration thrive together, fostering curiosity and a lifelong love for discovery in every student that walks through our doors.

Kindergarten-1st Grade 

Faith Builders

Kindergarten and 1st graders are building a foundation of faith through learning and God's love. These students will begin their journey in a caring environment focusing on literacy and social skills through storytelling and wonder.

 

During these formative years, we help our Kindergarten and first grade students to build their faith while our 3rd-4th grade students lead by example in mentoring the younger students academically and spiritually during our afternoon instruction (Art and Health classes).

Classroom split takes place starting  Monday, 11-2-2026

2nd-3rd grade

Truth Seekers 

New Classroom starting Monday, November 2, 2026:

2nd-3rd graders are working on discovering words and asking thoughtful questions. Our 2nd-3rd graders will also be working on expanding their horizons through project-based learning, encouraging critical thinking and collaborative problem-solving discovery.

 

Our Truth Seekers group works on ELA, Math, Social Studies and Science during morning instruction. For afternoon instruction, our 2nd-3rd grade students return to the Faith Builders classroom for Art and Health classes. 

5th-8th grade 

Light Bearers 

Our 5th-8th grade students will share their light through their words, action and service to others. Our Light Bearers are preparting for the next step by fostering independence and deepening knowledge in core subjects and leadership skills.

 

5th-6th grade students are emerging in their faith and taking next steps on their academic journey. 7th-8th grade students are taking their next steps in their faith and academically are being challenged to take their next steps leading to high school.

9th-12th grade

Disciples

Our Disciples are growing as followers of Jesus and putting their faith into practice. High school students are now mentoring younger students, earning high school credits, discovering what they want to pursue after graduating from FHA as emerging young adults.

 

Students go on to University, State College, Technical and Vocational Programs. God is guiding our students every step of the way!

kids

As God has directed us, our Additional Supports Classroom, provides additional academic support for students in the 4th-12th grade and is designed to meet each student's learning potential. We call the students in the Additional Supports Classroom the Promised Kids to show our commitment to these students. Some of the students in this classroom may have learning disabilities, intellectual disability, or need additional academic supports that our other classrooms cannot provide. We made a promise to God to provide a classroom for these students that may not be a good fit for other schools. 

 

Please note, we are unable to offer enrollment to prospective students that:

​

Need an ACC device to communicate

Are minimally verbal or non-verbal. 

Have behavioral challenges

Need 1:1 support

Are not toilet trained

​

​IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Marion County Public Schools does not provide occupational therapy or physical therapy through a Service Plan in private schools. Additionally, Marion County Public Schools does not provide a support staff member for TeleHealth speech language therapy so our school is unable to provide speech or language therapeutic interventions through a Service Plan. Additionally, our school does not have private speech/language, occupational or physical therapists onsite. 

 

Providing your child's IEP or 504 plan for review does not guarantee that we will be able to offer the supports needed for your child at our school.

​

If you need a referral for a school that can provide the above listed supports, please call and request a referral. We are happy to assist. 

Pursuant to Section 1002.41(1)(j) F.S. A privately placed private school student with a disability does not have an individual right to receive some or all of the education or related services that a student would receive if enrolled in public school under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) as amended.

​

Effective November 2025: Due to Marion County Public Schools offering virtual speech therapy, we are no longer offering speech/language services through the public school district. We welcome speech pathologists that bill insurance that do not provide virtual therapeutic intervention.
