Fort Worth Academy was established in the spring of 1982 through the collaborative efforts of parents and university educators who wanted a non-traditional school experience for children. FWA was founded on the ideals of innovative, forward-thinking educational practices, of creating authentic learning opportunities for students, and—above all else—cultivating a love of learning. The school is an independent, preparatory day school for kindergarten through eighth grade students.
