Brand Talking Points: Founders Classical Academy

At Founders Classical Academy, we seek to provide a well-rounded education that is distinctively classical, pursues knowledge, promotes virtue, and prepares students for prosperous lives in a free society. 

Founders Classical Academies are public schools of choice in a private school setting. Students in grades K-12 need educators who are willing to guide them and help them become virtuous, responsible citizens. We offer a rigorous classical education in the liberal arts and sciences and we value applicants with real-world experience and education.

Campus Talking Points: 

• Founders Carrollton focus on attributes like integrity, patience, self-control, thoughtfulness, justice, humility, prudence, and gratitude, just to name a few. We have conversations about these virtues, practice them every day, and help each other learn how these characteristics help us be better human beings.
• Founders Carrollton follow a curriculum organized from a historical timeline focused on the human experience and our pursuit of virtue and liberty. This allows for subjects to integrate into one another, support each other, and create a well-rounded education focused on the students becoming inquisitive. Another difference in the curriculum is the emphasis on books that support this pursuit.
• Founders Classical Academies derive their names due to the emphasis on the American experiment in self-government. This aspect makes a Founders school different from many other classical schools. We are interested in developing responsible adults who do not require a strong government to tell them what to do. They understand their rights and their obligations. They value contribution, and they take action when appropriate.
• Smaller class sizes throughout all grade levels. 
• Phonics based in the lower grades.
• Great Books in all grades (K-1 through read aloud and 2+ beginning reading independently-starting with Charlotte’s Web)
• All students take Art, Music/Theater, and PE in grades K-8. 
• Students graduate with distinction and three endorsements by completing our core curriculum. 
• All grades have a monthly recitation. This is either a poem or a speech. Rhetoric is a component of our instruction in each grade. 
• Upper School (6-12) students may play sports and are involved in a House System. Our Student Council is also through the House System.
• Founders Carrollton is an expanding campus and we expect to grow by 300 students in the next few years. 
• Extracurriculars: Sports including basketball, volleyball, and soccer are highly competitive and have won first or second place the last two years in our division. Upper School math competitors went to state competition (Austin) and placed in three categories: including first, third and fourth. Our cheerleaders also went to state competition (San Marcos) and placed fourth. 
• Our students begin to earn high school credit in the 7th grade (dependent on course/track). Starting in 9th grade students earn AP credits (dependent on course/track)
• Active Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) that helps facilitate on and off campus events including various fundraisers, spirit nights, teacher appreciation, field day, etc. 
• Little to no technology campus which includes our No cell phone policy. Students are not issued tablets or laptops. All assignments are paper/pencil with the exception of Journalism, and some Upper School Math and English classes.
• Auditorium can seat up to 2,000 guests, and is home to many of our all campus events including morning assembly, Spelling Bee, One Act Play Competition, Lower School Winter Concert, Awards Assembly,  Senior Graduation as well as special programs such as Martin Luther King Jr. Assembly, Veterans Day and much more.
