THANK YOU FA - We found ourselves stuck in online school and needed another option. My students are a people person and needed contact with others. Fellowship not only offered in person learning when we needed it most, they offered my student so much more. The flexibility to switch to online learning at the first sign of a potential Covid threat eases my mind in the balance of my student needing to be around other kids and their safety. The teachers embraced us during our mid-semester transition, and my student is all the better for it. Being a part of a larger school (to us it is larger) allows my student the opportunity to have a more diverse academic and athletic education. Catering to the needs of the student is top priority for Fellowship. They arranged classes, so that needs were met. I am so grateful for the opportunity for my student to join and graduate from Fellowship Academy!

Our son started here during the 2020-21 school year. We have been very pleased that he's been able to attend in-person class for most of the year, with only a few days of remote leaning due to Covid! The school came up with a very good strategy for on-site teaching for kids that cannot be remote, even if there's a Covid outbreak. Also, kids (and teachers) can be remote any time without having to miss class.... that's a great benefit! Many schools have struggled with this, but FA really came up with a great plan during this pandemic! With what is being taught in public schools today, we are sold on a Christian education. We have been very impressed with the quality of education our son is receiving. The classes incorporate God's word into their lessons, even math and science! Fellowship is a small school, but big enough to offer a diverse curriculum with a very nice array of extracurricular/sports activities! My son has guitar class, but also has been able to play 3 sports. Also, Fridays are "enrichment" days where other clubs and class projects can take place. The tuition is very affordable compared to most other options in the Arlington area. We believe that it's well worth the cost!

I can't say enough amazing things about Fellowship Academy!! If you are interviewing and researching schools, make sure you don't skip Fellowship. Our daughter started school there last year during 9th grade, and the experience she has had since has been incredible. The teachers and staff have such patience, kindness, genuine care, and put in so much effort in to help the students academically and emotionally. Our daughter was struggling before, and with the positive atmosphere and environment at Fellowship, she has made A/B Honor Roll every quarter since and has done so well on all of her exams. She loves school again and is talking about her future again. She is excited about applying to colleges and dreaming about what she wants to do with her life. We had not seen this side of her in so long. It has helped heal her and our family. She is genuinely happy again, which has been the greatest gift of all. We have loved Fellowship so much that we chose to move our son over this year for 9th grade as well. We are so grateful for all the teachers, coaches, and staff at Fellowship. They are amazing and they have truly helped our children excel.

I love the loving environment that Fellowship has to offer. I love the interment class room settings. I love how they allowed my son to soar in his own way.
