Your Child Deserves the Best...
Future-Ready, By Design.
Fort Worth Academy isn’t your typical school. We’re redefining what K–8 education can be, blending innovation, leadership, and real-world readiness into every grade.
Founded in 1982, we’re a small, co-ed day school where students are seen, heard, and challenged. Our student-first model fuels curiosity and purpose through personalized learning, cutting-edge project-based learning (PBL), and our nationally recognized ELI Initiative—Entrepreneurship, Leadership, and Innovation.
Small School. Big Impact.
With class sizes capped at 15, every student is known; and every voice matters.
Our intentionally small setting sparks meaningful relationships, deeper engagement, and early leadership. From kindergarten to 8th grade, students grow in confidence as they learn to lead themselves and others through hands-on experiences and authentic collaboration.
Leaders a Little Sooner
At FWA, middle school isn’t a holding pattern—it’s a launchpad.
Our program is deliberately designed to stretch, challenge, and inspire. From cross-grade mentorships to bold, real-world learning, our students develop the skills and self-awareness to thrive wherever they go next. By 8th grade, they’re not just prepared for high school—they’re pursued by the top schools in the region.
Learning that Looks Like the Real World
Project-Based Learning at FWA means students don’t just absorb information—they apply it. In every grade, students tackle meaningful problems, collaborate across disciplines, and build solutions that matter. They learn by doing, thinking, building, and leading—every day.
The ELI Edge
Our signature ELI Initiative transforms education into preparation.
Through entrepreneurial thinking, creative risk-taking, and leadership development, students grow into confident, capable innovators—ready for whatever the future holds. It’s not just about school readiness. It’s life readiness.
FWA Trailblazers
Our graduates walk out our doors with more than just strong academics.
They’re courageous, self-driven, and creative thinkers ready to thrive in high school, college, and beyond. At Fort Worth Academy, we keep children a little longer and launch leaders a little sooner.
