TRANSCRIPT

or almost two thousand years, churches haves been the center

of our communities, the very cornerstone of Western civilization.

Just a few short decades ago, Biblical teaching and Christian worldview were

the bedrock of every child’s education. Sadly, that is no longer the case in our

public schools, where too much government interference and progressive

ideology undermine Judeo-Christian values, warp the teaching of American

history, and actively work to drive a wedge between children and their parents.

A once-a-week church service and an hour of Sunday school are no longer

enough to preserve the faith of our kids and prepare them for a life

anchored in Christ.

FreedomProject Academy wants to change that, and it’s a simple

concept. We partner with churches across the country to provide fully

accredited, biblically based, K-12 online classes that allow every church

that sits empty Monday through Friday to start their own school. FreedomProject

Academy provides more than 100 live courses from core subjects such as

English, math, history, and science to courses in Latin, Spanish, French and

economics. Schools can select the classes they want to use, while supplementing

their own courses for Bible study, music, art, and anything else they choose.

FPA not only offers each of our classes live online, but also records each class,

making them available for immediate playback 24/7. In addition, our teachers

assign all homework, quizzes, and tests, and are responsible for all grading.

Let’s continue to impact as many lives as possible by providing a Christ-centered

education for children around the world. Together we can Faithfully Educate America.

DAVE DRAKE

But Jesus said, “Let the children alone, and do not hinder them from coming to Me; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

“Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he is old he will not depart from it.”

OUR STORY

FPEUSA.ORG/PARTNERSHIP page 2

WHAT WE DO FreedomProject Academy prides itself in providing one of the

best educational programs in the country. Students are taught discipline,

structure, responsibility, and organization in every class - skills that are

essential for life after school. Our program provides a quality education that

is incredibly unique in approach and delivery. Students attending FPA classes

are going to read, write, and develop strong foundations in math, English,

science, and history.

HOW TO ATTEND CLASS The most common way to attend class is for each student to use a

desktop or laptop computer. A common practice by most schools is to establish

a shared computer lab. Students are required to wear a headset while attending

live class, allowing them to participate and respond verbally when the teacher

calls on them.

NON-DENOMINATIONAL INSTRUCTION

After speaking with the staff at

FreedomProject Academy, we knew this

would work for Grace Christian Academy and could

be a model for other schools looking to blend the

virtual and traditional classrooms. With budgets

the way they are for private schools and the fact

that FPA is built on Judeo-Christian values, this has

been a win-win relationship

in so many different ways. “MR. JEREMIE JOHNSON Head Administrator, Grace Christian Academy

FreedomProject Academy classes are non-denominational, anchored f irmly in

Judeo-Christian values. Our courses are Biblical in worldview and promote

Biblical understandings of knowledge and Truth. We do not promote the theology

of any particular church, temple, or brand of Judeo-Christian thought.

We encourage each individual school to incorporate their own distinctive

denominational beliefs and practices into the foundational

documents and mission statement of their organization.
