Record Enrollment for the 2011-12 School Year

The Blessing of Growing Enrollment

We welcomed almost 200 new students on August 10, 2011!

This marks the eighth consecutive year we have seen our enrollment increase.  Currently we have more than 1,100 students enrolled across four academic divisions.  With the blessing of growing enrollment comes the reality of limited space.  As we look toward the 2012-2013 school year, we anticipate that classes will fill quickly and a wait pool will follow. 

If you are a prospective new family, please call the admissions office as soon as possible to schedule a visit with our Admissions Team to begin the application process. Open enrollment will begin Monday, February 6, 2012.

We would love to meet you!

We encourage all potential applicants and their families to visit The First Academy. Please contact the Admissions Team at 407-206-8602 or 407-429-8149 (after hours cell phone), or admissions@thefirstacademy.org to schedule a tour of our Lower School, Middle School, and/or Upper School, Library, Gymnasium, Chapel, Dining Facility, Fine Arts and Performing Arts areas and Payne Stewart Athletic Complex.  During your application process, you are also welcome to attend a sporting event, Fine Arts performance, weekly student chapel or other activity on campus.

In the summer, we encourage you to enroll in our SummerQuest program which offers exciting choices for all ages and interests.

To arrange a shadow visit, please contact the Admissions Team.

Student Shadowing

Prospective students, would you like to meet fellow students and be inspired by our teachers for a day? Student visits can take place for Grades 1-12. We will partner you with a TFA student, in your grade level, and you will follow his/her schedule for the day. Enjoy a complimentary lunch at our on-campus dining facility as well!  To register for a student shadow visit, please contact the Admissions Team at 407-206-8602 or 407-429-8149 (after-hours cell phone) for additional details.

Thank you so much for allowing the Admissions Team to assist you.  Our desire is to be the first choice for families in Central Florida who are seeking a Christ-centered, college preparatory K4-12 school.  It is the mission of The First Academy to prepare children for life as Christian leaders who choose character before career, wisdom beyond scholarship, service before self, and participation as a way of life.
