Education With the Individual at Heart
A structured but adaptable educational environment where learners are recognised as individuals and supported to progress academically and personally.
Our Vision
To create an educational environment where learners are recognised as individuals, encouraged to believe in their abilities and given opportunities to develop academically and personally.
Our Mission
To provide structured, supportive and personalised educational assistance through smaller learning environments, individual attention, adaptable teaching and strong communication between learners, educators and families.
Our Values
Faith and Our Identity
Faith Academy SA welcomes learners and families from different religious and cultural backgrounds. The word Faith represents faith in God and belief in possibility; it does not represent affiliation with one particular Christian denomination or religion. Faith Academy SA does not provide Bible studies as part of its academic programme. Our broader values focus on character, respect, ethics, responsibility and treating others well.
Participation, Creativity and Working Together
Learning is more than completing worksheets. Our approach encourages participation, interaction, practical activity and confidence while maintaining a structured learning environment.
Smaller Classes, Structured Lessons, Active Participation
Smaller learning spaces allow educators to provide more explanation, repetition and individual guidance. Lessons are structured, while explanations and support can be adapted to the learner's needs where appropriate.
Support for Learning Barriers
Faith Academy SA can consider learners experiencing mild learning barriers where those needs can reasonably be supported within our environment.
- Smaller groups and individual attention
- One-to-one assistance
- Repetition and additional explanation
- Printed notes and reduced copying where appropriate
- Oral learning activities and adapted explanations
- Ongoing parent communication

Our classrooms are smaller, welcoming learning spaces supported by outdoor and recreation areas.
