About Foundation Academy Middle

When students enter FA Middle, they are viewed no longer as developing children but as developing members of the global community. In grades six through eight, the curriculum shifts—both in academics and character development—to expand into areas of self-pride, exploratory learning, and developing skill sets that can be applied to their future careers and interests. 

At FA Middle, we focus on celebrating our backgrounds and the differences between us, as well as increasing the rigor of lessons to model what will be expected of them in high school.
