Based out of Orlando, Florida, The First Academy, a Christ-centered, college preparatory school, serves over 1,250 students from preschool through high school.
When we were founded in 1986, The First Academy began its academic, fine arts and athletic programs and has continued growing them ever since.
We elevate students to their highest levels of achievement, and develop character before career, service before self and participation as a way of life.
The First Academy is a Christ-centered, college-preparatory
school serving over 1,200 Central Florida students across four
academic divisions Upper School (9th-12th), Middle School
(6th-8th), Lower School (Preschool-5th), and the Extended
Educational Programs (Homeschool and Special Needs). Since our
opening in 1987, TFA has continued to grow the academic, fine arts,
and athletic programs that have elevated its students to the
highest levels of achievement. More importantly, though, as a
private school TFA has helped develop its students` strength
of character, leading these young men and women to serve others in
their own community and across the globe.
The First Academy boasts a 100% college acceptance rate for its
graduating seniors, who have received over $70 million in
scholarship offers. TFA students at every grade level consistently
score well above the state and national average on standardized
tests and, for nearly a decade, more than half of TFA seventh grade
students have qualified for the Duke University Talent
Identification Program for the academically accomplished. In 2013,
The First Academy Middle School received the Department of
Education`s highest honor, becoming a National Blue Ribbon School.
In 2009, the Lower School received the same honor.
Students in the visual and performing arts at The First Academy
have received the highest possible rankings in theater and band at
the district and state level. TFA art students have received awards
from such notable entities as the Winter Park Art Festival and
Disney`s Festival of the Masters.
The First Academy Royals participate in over 22 interscholastic
sports at the varsity, junior varsity, and middle school levels.
Our students have won numerous district, regional, and state
championships, and have consistently earned individual
and team titles over the past two decades.
