The International School is a special division of Faith Christian Academy's Madison campus established to support families with adopted children from a foreign country. (see our PDF flyer)

Director:  Mrs. Cindy Hall, BS.Ed.

Foreign adoptions are such a blessing!  So many wonderful opportunities for the child and for the parents.

Our experience is that children are bright, inquisitive and eager to learn.  Sometimes, however, there can be special challenges.

The child may need extra help with language.  Learning to read.  Adjusting to  cultural differences.  Adjusting to a much different environment.  So many things are new at once!  It's easy to be overwhelmed.

Our International School places the child in a classroom environment that was created with him/her in mind.  A specially trained teacher who truly understands the child's needs.  One who has experience in assesing and meeting those needs.  A teacher who will lovingly and patiently emerge the child in.....

English language appropriate to his/her level

Basic learning skills

Cultural adaptations

Manners

Social and coping skills

Hands on, fun, educationally enriching activities!

Following an individualilzed education plan, where the parents have input and are included as part of the team, the International School desires to daily increase the child's confidence and knowledge.  The ultimate goal:  to transition the child into the age appropriate grade or classroom at Faith Christian Academy.  However, the specialized teacher and other members of the team will be here to act as a "safety net."  Supporting.  Helping.  Caring.  A foundation for SUCCESS.

Your child can learn, grow and advance as quickly as she/he is able. The special international teacher cooperates with the regular classroom teacher and monitors the child's progress regularly.  She is ready with help and support every day if needed.

And the K3 - 12th grade program is here for the years that follow.  (Grades 7-12 are offered at our nearby Athens campus).

Space in the International School is limited.  Students from age 3 (3 years old by September 1, 2010) to Grade 6 are eligible to apply.  Classes are held at our Madison, AL campus at 13902 Bradford Road, Madison, AL 35756.
