Founded in 1982, Fort Worth Academy is a learning environment that cultivates leadership, entrepreneurship, and innovation. While the school is unique in many ways, perhaps its most distinguishing characteristic is that it is the only K-8 private school in Fort Worth. Fort Worth Academy is K-8 on purpose and by design and is proud to provide an environment where all students learn through exploration, perseverance and, ultimately, success. All classes at all grade levels are capped 15 students, and our middle school experience is unlike that of any other school. Our unique environment perfectly positions students aged 10-14 with problem-solving skills, individual confidence, and leadership capacity, while the middle school experience at any other school is a time of vulnerability and lack of confidence.
The success of our graduates speaks for itself. Nearly all--99%--attend their family's first choice for high school.
Our Needs
Fort Worth Academy is on the final lap for our most recent capital campaign - Project Blaze,. This community commitment renovated and updated our middle school wing and all our Science Labs for grades K-8. Currently the project needs to raise an additional $929,339 to reach the finish line!. You can still be a part of this transformational FWA community effort! Students will be able to occupy the new innovative learning space starting in September 2021!
Mission
Fort Worth Academy empowers young people to think critically, lead with empathy and collaborate effectively, to become the innovators and problem solvers of tomorrow. We cultivate our students to become self-aware, self-driven, courageous, confident and creative Trailblazers
