Description:

The Foundation Academy is an arts-based/STEAM and Christian environment in which students K-12 flourish through project inquiry based learning. For five years, we have hosted the first student led Science Festival in the nation, partnering with Florida State College at Jacksonville and the Museum of Science and History in a three-day event in February. We believe in equity and justice in education and serve ALL students as God's perfect children, accepting STEP UP and McKay scholarships.
