“The academy's philosophy of education is that successful education involves a close partnership between the parent and the school. Parents are the primary educators of their children and the school's role is to assist parents in this important process. The academy's curriculum is based around integrated thematic units with components of biblical integration. Curricular units are based upon florida sunshine state standards and student outcomes are expected to meet and exceed these standards. Though the grade level expectations clearly set high standards of academic performance, the academy places a strong emphasis on the development of the whole child. Programs such as the mission/service component at each grade level, the related arts program, extracurricular activities, the athletic program, and leadership development are examples of aspects of the curriculum that provide additional tools for the faculty to develop the emotional, social, and spiritual aspects of each child in addition to the intellect.
