The First Academy (TFA), is a private Christian school established in 1987 in Orlando, Florida. The school serves over 1,250 students from preschool to twelfth grade. [1]
The First Academy is an Orlando-based private Christian school for students from preschool to 12th grade. It is an Apple Distinguished School[ citation needed] and was named Orlando's Best Private School by Orlando Magazine in 2017, [2] and the second-best private school by Southwest Orlando Bulletin in 2016. [3]
As a member of the Florida High School Athletic Association [4] (FHSAA), The First Academy Royals participate in over 22 interscholastic sports at the varsity, junior varsity and middle school levels.
In 2016, students at the school caused controversy by holding an " Instagram debate on the N-word"; some former students claimed to have experienced racism and homophobia while attending the institution. School officials denounced what had happened and implemented changes to improve race relations. [5] [6] [7]
The First Academy hosts a 16-team annual Christmas basketball tournament called the CIty Beautiful Invitational, last contested (as of 2022 [update]) in 2019. [8]
