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.

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: 


  • At Ignite Community School Mesquite, we have small student to teacher ratios, so more time is spent with each student. 

  • At Ignite Community School Mesquite, there is Tier II intervention time embedded into the daily schedule, so student gaps are addressed immediately, every day.  

  • At Ignite Community School Mesquite, we start each day with Social-Emotional Lessons, knowing that students cannot learn if they are not emotionally taken care of. 

  • At Ignite Community School Mesquite, we believe that a child should be a child after school. We do not provide homework; we provide lifework which involves an extension of learning but with real-world experiences and involving their family. 

  • At Ignite Community School Mesquite, we believe that children should be children. Fridays are half days, with the first part focusing on reading and math, and the second part dedicated to fun club time.  

  • At Ignite Community School Mesquite, we offer ADSY days, which are designed to provide enrichment opportunities for scholars, ranging from project-based learning to community engagement. 

  • At Ignite Community School Mesquite, we analyze student data daily and adapt upcoming lessons to fit each scholar’s needs.
