Military School Academics Program at FAA

The Boarding School Advantage - Is it right for you?

Our teachers are certified by the State of Florida, and many have Masters Degrees in their subject of expertise. Collectively, they come to us with many years of teaching experience, and they enjoy working in a structured setting with small class sizes that allow for individual attention.

In addition, our academic schedule sets aside one period of class each day (Monday through Thursday afternoons) for extra help from the teachers.

To view each teacher's daily Homework assignments, take a look at our Homework Hero pages.
