The FA Difference

Fredericksburg Academy is set apart from other schools because of our people, our philosophy, and our program.

We believe that independence is as essential to teaching as it is to learning. We invite experiential travel, community connections, and outdoor activities for each grade level. We put students first.

We understand that tuition is not something all families plan to take on when considering primary education. Our students are from a diverse range of socio-economic backgrounds and because of this, we work with each family to find the right tuition level for their unique financial situation through Indexed Tuition.
