Opening for the first time this Fall, Faith Academy – Freestone (FAF) is a non-profit Christian school that seeks to partner with parents to provide a quality, Christ-centered education to students, while developing the whole child; mind, body, and soul.

Starting as a K-6 school, Faith Academy intends to add a grade every year, retaining their current 6th graders until they graduate as High School Seniors.

FAF has selected an academically rigorous curriculum designed to challenge students to their full potential.

With low student teacher ratio, students will have an education tailored more to their individual learning style.

Enriched electives include Bible, worship, music, physical education, nature study, and culture studies.

Faith Academy – Freestone is located in the Christian Life Center at First Baptist Church in Fairfield, Texas.

Applications are being accepted now. Apply today.

Students applying will submit information about both the student and parent, along with a Pastor Referral letter. Interview during the admission process is conducted to ensure the school’s beliefs align with incoming families.

FAF statement of Faith is included in the application packet.

Application fee is $40.

The heart of the Faith Academy is to be a mirror of Freestone County.

It is their desire to have the community, churches, and individuals support Christian education, and through donations, they would like to offer scholarships for students needing assistance.

Enrollment fee is $150; book fee is $250.

Annual Tuition for FAF is $4,750, which may be paid over ten months at $475 per month.

There is a 10% sibling discount and a 5% discount for tuition paid in advance.
