What sports do you have?

Freeman Academy athletes participate in volleyball, soccer and cross country (fall), basketball and cheerleading (winter), track and golf (spring). Many students compete in multiple sports. Our soccer program is one of the oldest in the state. Sports at Freeman Academy bring out lots of participation and enthusiasm.

Do you talk about God?

Freeman Academy students have a lot of opportunities to discuss their faith. All students attend chapel twice a week. In chapel, the Freeman Academy community worships together through song, prayer and speakers. High school students are frequently involved in chapel as service planners, worship leaders and musicians. Bible classes (required for every Freeman Academy student), class devotions and informal discussions with other students and faculty encourage Christian growth.

How long is the school day?

High school students are in class from 8:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. A modified block schedule includes both 50- and 70-minute periods.

Advisory Time is a period held every other Wednesday afternoon during which students can hold class meetings, attend school assemblies or explore various interests through special sessions led by community members.

How do kids dress for school?

Freeman Academy does not have uniforms, but students are expected to dress modestly out of respect for themselves and others. Our student handbook prohibits clothing “which is offensive, immodest or distracting to others” or clothing which features inappropriate messages. Students are reminded that they represent Freeman Academy and should dress in good taste. Teachers may prescribe dress for special events like concerts, contests and athletic events.

Do we learn to know students in other grades?

Students have many opportunities to interact with one another. All students go to chapel and lunch together. Since most classes take place in the same building, students also see each other throughout the day. In addition, students are often divided into groups for community service projects and Advisory Time sessions (described in the first column).

What do you call teachers?

Students address each teacher according to that teacher’s preference. Some teachers are on a first name basis, some allow informal names (like “Mrs. C.” or “Mr. K.”) and others prefer that students use full names (“Mr. Epp”). Students are expected to be respectful of teachers regardless of their title; likewise, teachers are expected to interact with their students in a friendly and caring, yet professional way.

Can graduates get into good colleges?

Every student has his/her own criteria for measuring a “good” college. Freeman Academy is an accredited institution and a very high percentage of its graduates pursue higher education. Their academic preparation at Freeman Academy allows these students to get into the private or public institutions of their choice and to do well in their chosen field of study.
