Christian K–8 School in DeFuniak Springs, FL
Created with Purpose. Equipped for the Future.
Created by God. Gifted with purpose. At First Christian Academy, we disciple and nurture students to grow in faith, character, and academic excellence.
Discipleship Starts Here
Where faith and learning come together to equip students with a strong Biblical foundation and the character to lead. We partner with parents so students grow in faith, character, and academic excellence.
The Mission
To partner with parents, the church, and the community to build the moral and spiritual foundation in the lives of children through Christian education.
Safety Isn’t a Slogan. It’s on Every Teacher’s Lanyard.
Every morning you trust us with the most precious gift God has given you: your child. First Christian Academy uses the CENTEGIX Safety Platform, and every teacher and staff member wears a silent CrisisAlert badge while on campus.
- One push, quiet alert. A single press of the badge sends a discreet, campus-wide alert.
- Exactly where help is needed. Administrators and emergency responders are told the precise location.
- Help arrives quickly. Because responders know exactly where to go, help gets there fast.
“The Lord will keep you from all harm; He will watch over your life.”Psalm 121:7
