W
hen I first
set foot
on the
Fredericksburg
Academy campus in
1996, I felt at home
almost immediately.
After I observed stu-
dents and teachers in
action, I found myself
wishing I had been
able to attend a school
like this one, where
I could have excelled as a student, athlete,
artist, and leader.
It has been a privilege to call FA my second
home for nearly two decades, first as Athletic
Director, then as Head of Middle School, and
now as Head of School. As the school has
grown over the years, we have remained true
to our mission to nurture the potential of each
student. Every day, I am amazed by the work
being done by students and teachers in our
classrooms, science labs, art studios, theater,
and on our fields and courts.
As an accredited, independent, college-
preparatory school, Fredericksburg Academy
provides a unique educational option for the
children of our region. We are proud of our
record of 100 percent college acceptance,
small class sizes (7:1 student-teacher ratio),
passionate teachers (55% of whom hold
advanced degrees), emphasis on honor,
inclusive learning environment, and opportu-
nities in the arts and athletics for all students.
I sincerely hope that you will schedule a visit
to our campus so you can experience the
same warmth I felt on my first visit in 1996.
It is impossible to understand the FA differ-
ence without seeing it for yourself. Call us
at 540.898.0020 to schedule your personal
tour, or stop by during our Explore FA Day on
Saturday, January 31 from 12-2 p.m.
