Founders Academy offers an excellent education and a safe learning environment. I love attending my school, however, I do wish that the principal had better communication with the student body and that there was more events that the students can enjoy.

I have two children currently attending Founders Academy. Both of them love the school and their teachers. This is their third year attending and their level of education is far above my friend's children in public schools. The teachers seem to engage the students and push them to their full potential. The small class sizes allow for more one on one time, also.
