FREEDOM ACADEMY
About School District: Freedom Preparatory Academy (FPA) is a chartered public (free) school overseen by the Utah State Office of Education, with 700 students in grades K-8. FPA has been approved to expand to a K-12 school starting in the 2012 school year. In 2010, Freedom Preparatory Academy was named Charter School of the Year, and in 2011, Director Lynne Herring was named Charter School Administrator of the Year. The school is governed by a seven-member governing board; these board members are elected by Freedom Preparatory Academy parents. Freedom Preparatory Academy’s daily operations are run by a director who reports to the board. Parent volunteers work primarily through a Parent Teacher Organization (PTO). Freedom Preparatory Academy uses the highly acclaimed, academically rigorous Core Knowledge Sequence, Saxon Math and Spalding Language Arts. Other subjects include art, music, French, Latin, broadcasting, digital media, information technology, PE etc. Certified teachers with extensive training implement these curricula. For upper division students, Freedom Preparatory Academy offers several extracurricular activities. Cross-country, track, co-ed soccer, basketball, volleyball, cheerleading, and mock trial teams hold tryouts annually. Additionally, Freedom Preparatory Academy has several clubs, afterschool classes and a robust student council program for all ages. Freedom Preparatory Academy provides a traditional, back-to-basics environment by limiting class size to 25 students, instituting a dress code policy, and asking parents to voluntarily commit to 40 hours of school service per school year.
