Our Mission
MISSION STATEMENT:
Fire Canyon Academy is a Christ-centered Community of Families who offer opportunities for youth to connect with quality peers, deepen existing friendships, increase spirituality, and provide an environment that encourages learning through Scholar Projects and Leadership Education. Our mission is to help each of our members grow into leaders who will embody a moral foundation of truth, virtue, compassion, liberty, and courage so that they can positively impact their families, communities, and the world for good.
FOUNDING PRINCIPLES:
- Love of God - God wants us to learn and gain knowledge through personal effort. In return, He blesses us with enlightened answers, paths and understanding. Study in core value books/scriptures in class is encouraged and approved.
- Love of Family - Our families take priority over everything. We support, not replace, the family as the center of learning.
- Freedom to Choose Education - We ask that scholars fully participate and engage in the classes that they have chosen to be in. Scholars are accountable for their choices and do the work they have set out to do.
- Classics not Textbooks - We consider a classic to be a book, piece, or source that you can return to and continue to learn from. We seek for truth through classics. A study of truths that are constant is necessary for us to understand and measure truth for ourselves.
- Mentors - Mentors devote their time and energy to lead and love scholars and encourage them in their learning and growth of academics and character through scholarship ladders. Mentors are expected to use their spiritual eyes to be helpful, compassionate, and challenge scholars when and where they are ready.
