Think this used to be a good school seems to have different administration and not as good as once was.

I’m very grateful for this school and highly recommend it to any parent looking for a nurturing and high-quality learning environment for their child.

This is our first year and I am regretting placing my child here the further we go. We moved back to the area and placed our child here for 6th grade this year. Our child has been Abekka curriculum since K5 at another private school near Atlanta who excelled academically as the focus was a rigorous curriculum and making sure students mastered the material. We only selected TSA for 6th grade when we moved based upon being told (in email) they used Abeka curriculum also as this was my defining factor for selection (otherwise we would have continued to make the 1hr and 20min drive to the previous school in the area we relocated from). Needless to say, after starting we find out only certain teachers use Abeka fully. Some do not use at all. After questioning the Admissions on this, I was deferred to allow a teacher speak on this of which was all fluff (also in email for proof). The teacher made sure to let me know as a Private school THEY had the right to decide

School is wonderful in so many ways but the leadership can punish a student to the extreme for situations and behavior that is "blown up" and magnified. They pick on the struggling students, rather academically or mentally, and treat them as if they are threat to the school or a criminal. So sad.

Wonderful, rigorous, Christian education. We’ve been very pleased

GO VIKINGS!!!! I absolutely love FPD, everyone is so kind, including teachers. Amazing fine arts program, sports program, etc.- especially the theatre program!
