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.
