First Academy
We would love for you and your student(s) to join the First Academy Family!
Apply NowA Tradition of Excellence
Students are encouraged to learn academically as well as spiritually in the following ways: Inquiry, Growth & Achievement, Honor & Service, and Leadership. It is our desire that students understand that they are created by a loving God and made in His image. We were created to be people that think deeply and broadly about life with wholehearted service to God. This should motivate excellence in developing our skills and abilities.
About Us
How We Operate
First Academy is a nurturing, Christ-centered program, small and suitable to help every child achieve his or her God-given potential. Our desire is for our students to “grow in wisdom, stature and favor with both God and man.” Our biblically integrated curriculum and academics are every bit as rigorous as the best schools in Northwest Arkansas, but our mission is that our students develop a heart for serving others, so they find themselves equipped with every tool to engage their community with the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Staff and student relationships are vitally important to us. Joining our school family is a partnership where every child and family is connected to a group of like-minded believers creating long-lasting relationships.
