AGA is an independent K-8 faith-based academy inspired by Roman Catholic tradition. In Year One, students complete core academics through a family-selected independent-study program while AGA provides the daily school environment around that work. Teachers circulate, answer questions, provide targeted mini-lessons and small-group support, monitor pacing and progress, and help students stay accountable. The school day also includes faith formation, enrichment, electives, community life, and structured routines.
AGA is a K-8 academy. During Year One, students complete core academics through a family-selected independent-study program while attending AGA for a structured school experience with teachers, classmates, faith formation, enrichment, electives, breaks, and daily routines. AGA also offers a part-time option for homeschool and independent-study families who want in-person teacher support and community without enrolling full time.
Yes. Full-time students attend AGA Monday through Friday for a structured school day that includes core academic work, breaks, lunch, enrichment, faith formation, and other program activities. AGA also offers part-time enrollment through either three full academic days each week or five academic mornings. The part-time program is scheduled enrollment, not hourly or casual drop-in care.
Yes. AGA teachers actively support students throughout the academic day. Because Year One core academics use an independent-study structure, teachers do not spend the entire day lecturing one class through the same lesson. They circulate, answer questions, review work, provide targeted mini-lessons and small-group support, reteach when needed, monitor pacing and progress, and give students more direct help when they need it.
Year One uses an independent-study model for core academics. Many AGA families use Horizon, while families may choose another eligible program that works for their child. AGA provides the daily structure, teacher guidance, accountability, faith formation, enrichment, electives, and community around that core academic work.
Yes. One of the main reasons AGA exists is to preserve the daily community students and families value. Students will learn alongside peers, participate in group activities, share meals and breaks, attend faith-based and enrichment experiences, and build friendships through a consistent campus routine.
Parent involvement is still important. For full-time students, parents are not expected to lead the independent-study curriculum during the school day; AGA teachers provide the daily structure, guidance, and accountability on campus. Part-time families remain responsible for the requirements and deadlines of the homeschool or independent-study program their child uses outside AGA. All families should stay informed, communicate with AGA, and support follow-through at home when needed.
Yes, within structure. The independent-study model allows students to move through core academic work with more flexibility than a traditional one-speed classroom. That does not mean students can fall behind without accountability. AGA staff will help monitor pacing, encourage steady progress, and support students who need help staying on track.
Yes. Academic progress will be tracked through the curriculum and enrollment structure connected to the student’s independent-study program. AGA will also help monitor student progress during the campus day so families can understand how their child is doing, where support may be needed, and whether the student is keeping pace with assigned work.
AGA combines the structure and community families value in a traditional school with a more individualized Year One academic model. Students complete core academics through independent study while receiving daily teacher guidance, faith formation, enrichment, accountability, and peer community on campus.
Tuition is lower because AGA’s Year One academic model is built differently. Families use a selected independent-study program for core academics, allowing AGA to focus tuition and resources on teachers, daily academic guidance, faith formation, enrichment, PE, individualized support, and the school community. That structure helps keep tuition more accessible while still providing a serious, full-day academy experience.
No. AGA is an independent K-8 faith-based academy inspired by Roman Catholic tradition, but families do not need to be Catholic or Christian to apply. Families should understand and respect that prayer, theology, faith formation, service, moral formation, and a faith-informed culture are part of the AGA experience.
Faith is incorporated through prayer, theology, moral formation, service, community expectations, and the overall culture of the academy. AGA’s goal is not only academic progress, but formation of students who think clearly, act responsibly, serve others, and grow in character.
Yes. AGA’s model includes enrichment and specialty programming as part of the full-day experience. Depending on staffing, enrollment, scheduling, and campus resources, this may include areas such as PE, music, art, foreign language, theology, life skills, financial literacy, Road Scholars activities, and other hands-on learning opportunities.
For full-time students, a typical day includes structured arrival, core academic work blocks, breaks, lunch, continued independent-study support, faith formation, enrichment, electives, physical activity, and supervised campus routines. The exact schedule may vary by grade level, staffing, and campus needs, but the goal is a consistent full-day rhythm that gives students structure without forcing every child into the exact same academic pace. Part-time students follow the schedule connected to their selected three-day or morning-only option.
Yes. AGA was designed with working families in mind. Full-time students attend a structured school day with teachers, academic support, peer community, faith formation, enrichment, and daily accountability, so parents are not expected to personally guide the independent-study curriculum throughout the day.
Midyear transfers may be considered case by case depending on space, grade level, student needs, curriculum fit, and timing. Families considering a midyear transfer should contact AGA before applying so we can discuss whether the transition is realistic and what steps would be required.
Families should contact us before applying if their child has significant learning, behavioral, medical, emotional, or support needs; if they are considering a midyear transfer; if they are unsure whether AGA fits their family; if they need help understanding the independent-study structure; or if they have questions about faith formation, tuition, documentation, or daily expectations.
