Welcome to Florida College Academy. Here are recommendations to prospective parents of FCA from current and former parents of FCA students. I hope this information will help in your decision to obtain the best education for your child.
To: Prospective Parents of Florida College Academy (FCA)
From: Gail Hunter, Former Parent of FCA Students
I recommend FCA for the academic, spiritual and social benefits. Our two daughters attended the school grades K‑8 for a period of 12 consecutive years. In high school, they attended two other Christian schools but neither one in our estimation, was as good as FCA. There's no perfect school, yet FCA is as close to achieving perfection of any school we know.
FCA well prepared them academically. Each was in the high school honor society and both graduated the 12th grade with college credits. Our oldest daughter is a college senior successfully completing a finance major. The younger graduated high school with a 4.4 GPA. She has twenty‑one hours of college credit as a college freshman. Much of their academic success is attributed to the foundation received at FCA.
Spiritually,
the school was excellent. We felt secure because they received daily Bible lessons. Knowing the teachers would uphold God's Word in the classroom was truly a comfort. Crude language and liberal ideas did not come forth from the teachers' mouths. Any problem that occurred in the classroom was handled in a Christian manner.
Socially,
the academy provided our girls with friends from good homes. Each has retained friendships begun at FCA. What a blessing!
The sports program proved helpful to their development as well. We knew coaches would act appropriately and not berate students as is often the case in some schools. Our girls received ample opportunity to play on the teams, even if they weren't the strongest players. Fairness abounded.
We miss FCA and the good years our family experienced. Each of us has fond memories. We are so thankful to have received the opportunity to send our girls to this great school.
You will be glad if you choose FCA!

To Whom it May Concern,
I would like to recommend Florida College Academy to anyone wishing to find a complete and caring education for their children. Until we came to the Academy my three children were exclusively home-schooled. They transitioned very well to a classroom environment due largely to the warmth and concern of the teachers here. My oldest is now a Junior in High School and excelling at Honors classes, thanks to the solid level of knowledge from this institution. The younger ones are maintaining "A" averages and thoroughly enjoy being a part of a class of morally upstanding peers. The Bible principles lived here at Florida College Academy are an irreplaceable part of our lives.
Sincerely,

To Whom it May Concern,
As Christians, we are concerned about what values we instill in our children and we have tried to raise them according to biblical principals. In today's society many schools work against these things that we have worked so hard to teach them. At FCA this is not the case. Here teachers and school administrators reinforce these principles with our children on a daily basis. From daily chapel and Bible study to basic reading, writing and arithmetic, every aspect of learning is based on the Bible. Our children are never asked to question God's truths in pursuit of education.
The academic program at FCA is second to none. The faculty are talented and dedicated to helping each child reach his or her full potential. The smaller classroom setting allows for flexibility and allows teachers to better tailor the learning program to meet the needs of students.
The opportunity for social growth is unique. Children are surrounded by peers who are from diverse backgrounds, but have come to FCA because their family wants an education based on God's word. These are friends who will be a positive, strengthening influence rather than causing them to compromise their values. Athletic programs and other extracurricular activities allow students opportunities outside the classroom and further enhances the social opportunities.
FCA is a very special place, but it is hard to express in words. If you are looking for an educational experience that goes beyond just academics, I would encourage you to come and visit. I hope you'll be impressed immediately with the caring atmosphere and the deep concern for each individual who makes up our "family". We are blessed to have our children grow and learn in this environment and hope you will feel the same way too. I would be happy for you to contact me if I could be of any assistance in answering questions you might have.
Sincerely,
Margaret Hammontree
parent of two FCA students
