First Presbyterian Day School vs. Stratford Academy

FPD defines our Profile of a Graduate as a lifelong learner, challenged by the gospel, equipped for wellness, self-aware and growing, engaged and persuasive, and sensitive to others.

Achieving this goal requires a curriculum that exposes students to a thoughtful sequence of study, building a foundation of knowledge in each discipline and encouraging thoughtful analysis and application.

Our high school offers an academically challenging curriculum underpinned by sound biblical principles.

When FPD students graduate, they are prepared to attend some our nation`s finest colleges and universities with a firm foundation in their faith and academic abilities.
