FPA Athletics
Student Athletics are a vital resource for the training of young minds and hearts. These athletic programs provide opportunities outside the classroom for students to practice and experience biblical principles taught at home and in the school.
FPA students may participate in any of the various extracurricular activities and clubs available for his/her age group, as long as the student meets all requirements for participation, is in good academic standing, and the family is in good financial standing with the school. Any fees associated with the student activity (athletic fees, materials fees, uniform fees) must be paid.
Homeschool students may also participate in FPA athletics. As FPA students must be accepted to Foundation Preparatory Academy through a formal admissions process, homeschool students who wish to participate in FPA athletics will also participate in an abbreviated application process involving, prayer, completing and application form and a family interview.
Students wishing to participate in athletic clubs and activities must sign and agree to the Athletic Policy Handbook. All student athletes must also have a current sport’s physical and be cleared by their doctor for participation.
