Fellowship Academy exists to graduate godly leaders who will impact the community by serving others with excellence.
To provide a Christ-centered education in which students realize their God-given potential and graduate equipped for college or career, prepared to serve their community with integrity, faith and excellence.
Fellowship Academy was founded in August of 2000 with a desire to provide access to a Christian education for the surrounding community. Starting with 1st through 5th grades, by the spring of 2008, Fellowship Academy had expanded and held its first high school graduation. In August of 2012, Fellowship Academy moved into its current campus on Bowman Springs Road. With a focus on graduating students prepared for college or career, Fellowship alumni have been accepted to universities across the United States, served their country through military service or have pursued full-time employment after graduation.
The educational philosophy of Fellowship Academy is based on a God-centered view that all truth is God’s truth, and that the Bible is the inspired and the only infallible authoritative Word of God containing this truth. God creates all things and sustains all things. Therefore, the universe and man are dynamically related to God and have the purpose of glorifying Him. Because man is a sinner by nature and choice, he cannot glorify or know God. He can do this only by choosing God’s gift of salvation through His Son, Jesus Christ, thereby committing his life to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
Our aim socially is to provide a Christian perspective on the total worldview from which will come a balanced personality and a proper understanding and acceptance of a person’s role in life at home, at work, at play and at worship, all grounded in the Christian concept of love. This philosophy channels our energies to promote high academic standards while helping the students to achieve skills in creative and critical thinking using a biblically integrated curriculum.
The objective of our instructional program is to enable the student to pursue the postsecondary education of choosing, whether in college, university or in vocational training areas. Our responsibility to the student encompasses the spiritual, mental, intellectual, physical, social, and emotional areas. These are inseparable and run through the insistent thread of the spiritual. Therefore, it must be our aim to shun the tendency to teach the Bible compartmentally or on the intellectual level alone—this scarlet thread must be woven throughout the total curriculum. It is apparent, then, that the types of activities we employ or permit in the classroom or school program will either facilitate or militate against our basic philosophy. The spiritual must permeate all areas–else we become textbook-oriented rather than student-oriented. This philosophy dictates that we cooperate closely with parents in every phase of the student’s development, offering them assistance in understanding the purposes of Fellowship Academy.
Fellowship Academy is accredited by Cognia, a division of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Our school is a member of the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI), the American Association of Christian Schools (AACS), the Texas Association of Private & Parochial Schools (TAPPS), and the Texas Private Schools Association (TPSA).
Interested families are encouraged to schedule a private tour. This allows you to view the campus, see our programs in action and have your specific questions answered. We encourage your potential student to visit Fellowship Academy for a Shadow Day. As a guest for the day, your potential student will get to experience a typical day at Fellowship Academy. The potential student will be paired up with a buddy that is in the same grade to help them navigate the campus and help answer any questions they may have. Each fall and spring we hold Open Houses where potential families can self-tour, explore the campus, meet our dedicated teachers and learn more about our Christ-centered education.
Fellowship Academy sets aside budget dollars each year to offer financial aid to families who qualify for enrollment at our school, but have demonstrated a need for financial assistance. An independent third-party vendor is used to analyze financial aid applications, determine eligibility, and make recommendations as to whether a family qualifies for assistance, and if so, how much.
