School Reviews

We enrolled our daughter into Fayetteville Academy based on the recommendations from our friends and other parents. We have seen great strides in our daughter's educational career. She likes the small class sizes, and the opportunities offered to her. We are excited that they are opening a lower school STEAM lab and a virtual reality learning station to follow along with the middle-and upper school STEAM labs. She loves the school book fairs, play performances, and field trips. We like the one-on-one attention our daughter receives and the level of communication between parent and teacher.

I moved here from Florida May 2018, to start the Middle-and Upper School STEAM program in the brand new SMARTLAB. What a wonderful place to work! Everyone is friendly and helpful, everyone new and old blend together and participate in everything there is to offer. And there's SO MUCH on offer! Come and take a look for yourself and when you do, make sure you stop by the SMARTLAB. You should be here.

We have been at Fayetteville Academy for 2 years now. We enjoy the small classes, teachers, and individual attention by child receives. The school has a family feel to it and were very welcoming to us when we started. I like that the schools offers a smartLab , music, theater, lots of sports and Spanish classes.

Our son attended Fayetteville Academy from grades 6-12. We chose this school for two reasons, its academic standings (which speak for themselves) and the student to teacher ratio. In a year and a half our son went for just passing english and math to excelling in these areas. In addition he expanded his vocabulary far beyond what I knew as a middle and high school student. This attests to the rigor, high standards, and personal investment of the teachers to provide students an unequaled college preparatory experience. To share an interesting tidbit, while on vacation during our sons freshman year we were going to stay an extra day out of town, asking him his response was "well I really need to get home and finish my home work for the following week", what child has ever said that? This again attest to the positive and supporting learning environment created by the faculty and staff.

We made the absolute best choice sending our children to Fayetteville Academy. They have been given opportunities that far exceed our expectations. The children are thriving and we honestly, couldn't be happier. Academics, arts, sports, and more - Making our children incredibly well-rounded global citizens.
