Families across Texas now have access to a new, faith focused
education option: FaithPrep Texas, an online program of StoneGate
Christian Academy. Utilizing the Stride K12 accredited curriculum
and award-winning online learning platform, FaithPrep Texas
provides a flexible, faith-focused education for students in grades
K-12. Applications for the spring semester are now being
accepted.
FaithPrep Texas students will access a full course load across
the core subjects of math, science, English/language arts, social
sciences, and more. A key feature of the school is the Servant
Learner™ initiative that focuses on character development and life
preparation through the FaithWalk™ course and FaithCollegiate™ and
FaithPathways™ programs.
Students will learn from Christian teachers during live
instructional sessions and sit in live classes with targeted small
group sessions, and one-on-one support designed to ensure that
students learn appropriate material and connect with classmates
regularly. They will also connect with other students in their
Faith Group and chapel each week.
The online school will offer optional in-person meetings at
Faith Centers or learning hubs in select areas of the state for
socialization, faith enrichment, community service activities, and
program support.
A recent study conducted by Stride, Inc. found that a majority
of Christian parents (66%) are concerned about the quality of
education their children are receiving, and nearly half of
Christian parents (43%) say public education does not reflect their
personal values.
“We hear what Christian parents are saying, and we want to
provide your child a best-in-class online school experience by
combining a dynamic curriculum with a faith-based approach,” said
Matt Maples, Principal at StoneGate. “Our students can pursue
academic excellence, develop Christian character, and discover
their gifts, talents, and purpose to follow God’s calling in
life.”
Stride, Inc. has delivered online education to more than two
million K-12 learners over the last two decades and has worked with
schools across all 50 states and has developed local solutions to
meet personalized online and blended learning goals.
“After the success of these academies in Florida and California,
Stride is proud to partner with a faith focused online school
program for families in Texas,” said Perry Daniel, senior director
of academics and partnership at Stride. “Our award-winning
curriculum taught by missional teachers and the addition of
Christian character-building components will build a brighter
future for students and families across Texas who want to follow
this path.”
FaithPrep Texas is part of the FaithPrep network of schools and
programs established and supported by Faith Academics—a social
purpose education company dedicated to providing online faith-based
learning solutions and advancing technology-based education in
