Christ based education for the 21st century

The Academy is a mission of the Sacramental Faith Church. Put simply, it is an alternative to the government education system that has persisted for the past century. Instead of being a glorified daycare provider, we empower parents as the primary, responsible educators for their children. Officially, we are designated a "micro-school".  We are registered as a non-accredited, private school in the state of Kansas. 

We focus our attention on students that would fall into grades 7-12 in the public education system. A typical student coming from public education would be one who was well-behaved and, at worst, moderately successful academically. Our students are required to be capable of self-direction and self-management. Students that have special education needs due to learning disabilities may not be served well by our Academy. Families that do not profess the Christian faith will likely not be well served by our Academy either. Admission is not guaranteed for all students. As a private institution associated with Sacramental Faith, we have an application for admission. 

We focus on being a more traditional educator of students. Our classes are not traditional according to current education models. We focus our attention on students actually learning and not just regurgitating facts on a test. Fortunately, we can tailor the educational experience to the desires of the student. If they want to focus on being college ready in math and science, our curriculum will be heavy in those subjects. If the student wants a well rounded education to be job ready at graduation, the curriculum will reflect those needs. Being a good person that can adapt to the changing world requires education in the arts, social sciences, math, language arts, and science. 

 A day at the academy is not similar to being a public school. The day always starts with prayer, journal entries, and self-improvement. There are days that are mostly spent at the academy and some days where most work is done from home. Right now, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are busy days spent at the Academy and the other days are spent working at home. 

For parents educated in the current model, it is probably more akin to being a student at a college. We do not have every minute of every day mapped out. Student lectures may start as early as 9am some days. Our students have regular class times where some are in person and some are virtual. When not listening to an instructor lecture, they are working on their self-directed work. There are times for physical activity where the group as a whole will engage in some activity. Disc golf, tennis, basketball, walking, jogging, dancing, and more are group activities that have occurred.
