ACCREDITATIONS AND AFFILIATIONS

Foundation Academy partners with families and the church to build a firm foundation for life through Christ-centered education.

SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY

Foundation Academy, a Pre-K3 through 12th grade private Christian school, was founded in 1958 as a ministry of Winter Garden’s First Baptist Church. All grades were housed at the Plant Street Campus until 2007 when the upper school grades moved to a new 70 acre property on Tilden Road in South Winter Garden. In 2019, the Foundation Lakeside Campus was established on the property of the Family Church Lakeside Campus. Each year this campus will add an additional grade level through 6th grade. Students from both Plant Street and Lakeside Campuses will transition to the Tilden Campus for 7th-12th grade. Foundation Academy now serves over 1,000 students in Pre-K3 through 12th grade. The school continues to grow and thrive as a part of the Orlando Metropolitan Area, which is supported by tourism, aerospace, entertainment, and technology.

FACILITIES The educational complex on the Plant Street campus comprises nearly 20,000 SF of classroom and instructional space. The centerpiece of the property is a beautiful and historical church sanctuary. The complex also has a gymnasium, two STEM classrooms, a media/library center as well as a cafeteria. Additionally, there is a large playground for students to have recess, sports practice, and PE. Preschool students have a separate enclosed playground located near their classrooms.

ACADEMIC PROGRAM

CURRICULUM

A Biblical Worldview permeates the teaching and learning experience. The curriculum and learning resources are carefully chosen for each subject with the highest academic goals in mind. A variety of publishers, both Christian and secular, are used. Educational field trips are offered at each grade level that compliment curriculum content. Various technology tools are utilized to enhance instruction across the curriculum.

HONORS PROGRAM

The Honors Program is available for qualifying 3rd-5th grade students. Standardized scores, reading levels, and teacher recommendations are used as qualifiers. Students spend one day per week in the Honors program which uses integrative technology and advanced critical thinking tools. An extra fee is required, and space is limited. There is also a Math and Language Arts Honors Track available for 6th grade students who show outstanding achievement in those subjects.

ACCELERATED READER AND STAR ASSESSMENT PROGRAM

The STAR Assessment Program is a specialized reading assessment used for K-6. Accelerated Reader (AR) is a reading support program that begins in the 1st grade and is based on the STAR Assessment. This unique computerized reading management system tracks advancement while motivating children to read literature outside the classroom curriculum.

ENRICHMENT Foundation Academy Plant St. is pleased to offer enrichment classes in Art, Computer/Media, Music, and Physical Education. Introductory Spanish is offered to PreK-3 through 2nd grade.

PRESCHOOL PROGRAM The preschool program is for 3 and 4 year old children as a comprehensive training program that promotes academic, spiritual, physical, and social development.

For 3 year olds, parents may choose a 3 day option (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday).
