The Foundation Academy

The Foundation Academy was founded in 1988 by Principal Nadia Hionides. The school's vision is for learning to be a dynamic, hands-on, and enjoyable process which harnesses and channels a student's creative energy and adapts to their personal learning style. Through the principles of faith, hope, and love, TFA encourages the celebration of cultural diversity, the development of critical thinking and the motivation of lifelong learning.

Bright Futures/Scholarships - Seniors are encouraged to take the ACT, SAT or ASVAB, TABE or PERT tests, depending on their goals. The ACT or SAT is required to qualify for the Bright Futures Scholarship. Scheidel Scholarship and Pell Grant - The Foundation Academy graduates qualify to receive the Scheidel Scholarship.

If you have multiple students at TFA, you will need to deposit $75.00 for each additional student. Pizza is ordered every Monday. There is no other lunch program available on Monday. Students will need to order the number of pizza slices and turn their money in to their teacher before 9:30am to receive their food at lunch time.

Community outreach is a part of life at The Foundation Academy and is an expectation for all students from kindergarten through senior year. In order to be a good citizen of a community, students must first know about their community. Service to the community both allows students to do what love demands and it also helps them empathize and know their community better.

Established in 1988, The Foundation Academy is a private school in Jacksonville, Florida, whose mission is to educate children using STEM and arts integration in a family-like environment, helping each student become a critical thinker, a lifelong learner, and grow in knowing that God loves them. All TFA students are viewed first through their strengths.
