Facebook: @fredericksburgparent Twitter: @FredParent Instagram: @fredparentmagazine a sk t h e e x p e rt Q: Why did you feel it was important to open Talon Tutoring to the public? Our school leaders have an outward approach toward educa on and are passionate about sharing what we call "the FA diff erence" with as many people, and in as many ways as possible. Most of our programs, musi- cal and theatrical performances, and special events are open to the public—Talon Tutoring is no excep- on. You won't fi nd more dynamic summer or winter camps or a er-school enrichment classes anywhere else. You can even rent our pool, theater, gymnasium or classrooms! Q: Tell us a little about what sets Fredericksburg Academy apart from other schools. FA has students from age 3 through grade 12 on a shared 44-acre campus, which creates meaningful connec ons that cannot exist at any other school. We have master teachers who love the fl exibility of teaching at an independent school, which ignites curi- osity in students and creates authen c learning that does not exist at any other school. One of the spe- cial opportuni es open each year to Fredericksburg Academy students in eighth through twel h grades, is the chance to travel to foreign des na ons with their teachers and peers. The interna onal travel program highlights Fredericksburg Academy's belief in the place of global awareness in all parts of the Fredericksburg Academy curriculum. " Small classes foster independence, accountability, and promote close student-teacher bonds that mirror the relationships they will form with college professors and, ultimately, in the workplace." Q: What are you most looking forward to this school year? We most look forward to following the journey of where our mission, to inspire and empower our students to discover, to engage, and to imagine the limitless nature of themselves and the world, leads throughout the year. Each day is a unique adventure! We're also thrilled to have the opportunity to share this with students attending other schools through Talon Tutoring, on a smaller scale. Q: What are three things our readers might not know about Fredericksburg Academy? • Fredericksburg Academy's student body is more diverse than the average Virginia or U.S. independent school. • Fredericksburg Academy gradua ng classes have more college acceptances from which to choose and receive more college merit scholarships, on average, than any other local school. • Fredericksburg Academy awarded over $2.2 million for the 2018-19 school year through our Indexed Tui on program, which determines the level of tui on a fam- ily can pay based on its individual fi nancial picture. We inspire and empower our students to discover, to engage, and to imagine the limitless nature of themselves and the world." our MiSSion
