Ladysmith Families! A new era of learning is coming. We're thrilled to announce the Fall 2026 opening of Firm Foundation Academy (FFA), a groundbreaking Christian 7th-12th grade school designed to ignite a passion for learning through personalization and real-world applications. Unlike traditional classrooms, FFA will immerse students in dynamic, project-based learning that integrates core academics with the exciting world of emerging/future and skilled trades alongside the practical arts, life skills, entrepreneurship and self-reliance. Imagine your student mastering math by designing blueprints, understanding science and engineering through robotics and drone technologies and honing communication skills by presenting their own innovative solutions to real world problems. We're building a vibrant, supportive environment where every student is met where they are and empowered to discover their strengths, cultivate critical thinking, and forge a clear path toward a successful future in college, career, and life.
