I highly recommend SBFA to any parent considering homeschooling. We are blessed to be part of the SBFA community as we educate our children at home, guided by Christian values and teachings. SBFA is an evangelical Christian community seeking to advance the kingdom of God through homeschooling. Having a supportive homeschooling community, a flexible learning environment, and interactive academy days where parents and students meet has made this a rewarding experience for us.
