Preparing Tomorrow's Leaders
What is Whole-Child Education?
Whole-child education means helping students grow academically, spiritually, emotionally, and mentally. Small classes led by faculty who are accomplished in their field create an ideal environment for academic growth underpinned by a biblical foundation. FPD faculty inspire students to stretch their abilities, solve unique problems, and grow their God-given talents and interests.
76% of faculty have advanced degrees.
Fully accredited by ACSI, CESA, SAIS, AdvancEd
Rigorous Academic Studies
FPD Students are accepted into some of our nation’s top colleges and universities including Princeton, Duke, MIT, Emory, Georgia Tech, University of North Carolina, University of Georgia, and Wake Forest among hundreds of others.
- Nearly 80% of FPD seniors score above the national average on each of the three subtests of the SAT.
- 18 AP Courses offered for earning college credits.
- FPD students consistently perform among the top 10% of schools nationwide on the Comprehensive Testing Program IV (CTP IV).
Underpinned by a Biblical Worldview
We help students to see that their value is not based on who they are, but whose they are. God created all of us with different talents so we may glorify Him and serve others. A biblical world and life view is based on the framework of Creation-Fall-Redemption-Hope.
1. How should it be? (Creation)
2. What is wrong? (Fall)
3. How do we fix it? (Redemption)
4. What is the vision for the future? (Hope)

Academic Divisions
Lower School
3K - 5th Grade
The foundation for success begins in our youngest grades. Students learn not only basic academic knowledge, but how to apply that knowledge to solve problems, communicate effectively, and serve others.
Middle School
6th - 8th Grade
Middle School is a busy time as students refine the skills learned in elementary to prepare for high school. They are surrounded by godly mentors who help them navigate the middle school years with a foundation of faith and a focus on placing others above self.
High School
9th -12th Grade
FPD’s high school is the culmination. Students prepare to enter their college campus equipped with the academic skills they need to excel in the classroom and the foundation to stand confidently for their Christian faith.
