School Notes
Florida College Academy provides a learning environment where
biblical principles are taught and exemplified. From the beginning,
Florida College's founders wanted students to receive an education
which included a knowledge of God and His creation. Daily Bible
classes and Chapel provide opportunities to focus on Christian
attitudes and concepts. Students at FCA are instructed in 3
R's:
Reverence for God
Respect for others
Responsibility for myself
All faculty members embrace the highest Christian values and
uphold the philosophy and purposes of Florida College Academy.
With a student-teacher ratio of 11 to 1, students learn in a
safe, caring environment.
Athletics are important in both physical and social
development. Grades 4-9 are encouraged to participate in the
extracurricular sports programs. Soccer,
basketball,volleyball, and flag footballare offered for
both boys and girls.
Field trips, projects, banquets and other programs allow
students to interact in a variety of social situations.
We believe a school should provide a warm, nurturing
environment where respect for others is demonstrated, and where
safety is assured. When we speak of the "FCA family", we are
emphasizing the close, personal relationships that exist between
students, teachers, parents, and administrators. Located in the
city of Temple Terrace, one of the safest neighborhoods in
Hillsborough County, FCA strives to provide an environment free of
weapons, alcohol, drugs, profanity and hostility.
Solid education, spiritual development, social interaction, and
safety-compelling reasons to choose Florida College Academy for
your child's education. We invite you to come visit our school and
observe the warm, caring environment provided for our students. We
hope you will become part of the FCA family soon. Your children
deserve the best. Solid Education

social sciences and Bible principles are stressed as the foundation

My son and I love this school and the only reason he is not going there after this year is we moved so far away. They genuinely care about the students here!

All of my three children have attended Florida College Academy and had a great experience. The school community truly is a family to my family. My oldest two were students at FCA from kindergarten to 8th grade before attending high school elsewhere. They were very well prepared for high school and have gone on to succeed in college, graduate programs and professional work. Both of them still enjoy friendships that were developed during their years at FCA. We are fortunate that my youngest child was able to remain at Florida College Academy Prep for high school. The individualized attention she gets from this unique high school experience is helping her grow academically but also emotionally and spiritually. She has had wonderful teachers who are teaching their students so much more than math, science, English and social studies and I am very thankful to have these role models influencing her every day. I am grateful to have the opportunity for all of my children to be students at Florida College Academy.

My sons both attend this school and we would not choose another school. It is worth any sacrifices financially to be able to send them here. They are excited to go to school each day, have made life-long friends, and are achieving great success academically! Thank you Florida College Academy for the great job you do!

We are so glad that we found this school. My oldest son completed Pre-K through 8th grade at FCA and was fully prepared socially and academically for high school. My youngest still attends and has been there since Pre-K. We love that school continues to grow improve. The highly qualified teaching staff are encouraging and professional. Each student is encouraged to reach his/her potential. Respect and responsibility are fostered, encouraged and integrated daily. Students are disciplined quietly and not publically. Bullying is not tolerated. This school is a true gem in our community.
