The First Academy Reviews
Everyone is valued and they are always there not only for the students but also for the parents in every aspect of life. Children are able to witness what is like to be a Christian follower; they also know what it is expected in terms of quality and discipline.
Excellent leadership (the school principals are well respected, have great vision; just love how they create a positive attitude at TFA).
TFA is a complete package! No need to look elsewhere as you won't regret it.
