An elementary school for the child who is wired to explore, build, and move.
Welcome to an active elementary school built for the kids who aren't meant to sit still for six hours a day. At Forest City Academy, we trade rigid rows of desks and individual Chromebooks for hands-on projects, face-to-face collaboration, and the academic freedom to advance ahead the moment they are ready.
A Model Built on:
Academic Excellence
Your child moves forward when they’re ready, learning at a pace that fits them.
Learning Beyond the Books
From hands-on projects to Taco Tuesday at Cilantro, kids explore, create, and play while developing life skills.
Character and Community
Here, kids make decisions that matter, building character, confidence, and a strong sense of community.
The growth in our son has been a miracle!
-FCA Parent
Different by design.
For the parent that wants something different:
Smaller class size and setting
Space for child-led play and activities
Mastery-based (Kids advance when they’re ready. Don’t be surprised if your kindergartner starts multiplication)
Belonging at the center- from the moment your child enters to till they greet you at pickup, their unique gifts, interest, and personality traits are celebrated
“Intelligence plus character—that is the goal of true education. The complete education gives one not only power of concentration, but worthy objectives upon which to concentrate”
