Frequently Asked Questions:
- Do we have to attend Friendship Christian School to sign up for Friendship Academy?
No. We are excited to offer Friendship Academy to the wider community! - What if we won’t make every Saturday?
We understand that most families aren’t available to commit every Saturday. You will only be charged for the classes your child attends.
We are excited to partner with you in your child’s education! At Friendship Academy, we believe that the family, church, and school share in the responsibility of educating the whole child — mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
