Frederica Academy N estled among the sprawling oaks on St. Simons Island is Frederica Academy, an independent school serving students from Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade. Frederica’s longstanding tradition of fostering a productive, well-rounded and successful educational environment has been a part of the Golden Isles community for fifty years. Nurturing a culture of ethical character and trust, recognizing that academics, athletics, the arts and servant leadership provide the foundation for a meaningful student-centered education, and understanding that students learn best where there is a healthy and productive partnership among students, families and the school are three of Frederica Academy’s core beliefs. With abundant outdoor opportunities found around the Golden Isles, Frederica Academy takes immense pride in using the area’s natural assets to create living classrooms with unparalleled learning opportunities for their students. Whether growing food in the Lower School’s organic garden or being immersed in colonial life through archaeology projects in conjunction with Fort Frederica National Monument, the students at Frederica Academy undoubtedly receive an educational experience that is not restricted to the walls of a classroom. The dedicated staff and faculty at Frederica Academy strive to maximize the potential of each student and to prepare him or her for college and adult life through the development of mind, body and spirit. fredericaacademy.org 912.638.9981
