The Foundation Academy is a K-12 educational institution based in Jacksonville, Florida, operating on a 23-acre campus since 1988. It emphasizes equitable access to education and supports environmental stewardship through its recognized wildlife facility status and a monarch butterfly habitat, alongside a gardening-centered, hands-on STEM and arts program. The curriculum includes aquaponics, hydroponics, and traditional gardening, contributing to a well-rounded experience for students from elementary through high school. Student progress is shared with families through four Student Led Conference nights, and the school hosts performance events and community festivals such as winter and spring concerts, elementary and high school musicals, the World of Nations Festival, and the Jacksonville Science Festival. The Foundation Academy targets families seeking an equity-focused, diverse learning environment within the United States' primary and secondary education landscape, backed by enrichment programs and community partnerships. The campus employs a mid-sized staff, and a notable recent development involved the retirement of Loretha Cross in fall 2021, who previously supervised TANF-related programs for students.
