• Foundations Prep Academy serves kindergarten through fifth grade, or ages 5-11.

    Each classroom has a 1:10 teacher to student ratio. Because the school focuses on Montessori-style of learning, students are not separated by grade level. They receive small group instruction with students that are close in age.

  • FPA is a small learning environment that is personalized to each student. It has a unique ability to think outside of the traditional school setting. Many of our students are homeschooled, or parents have pulled their student out from their neighborhood public school. FPA is perfect for you if you want to change up your child’s homeschooling schedule, or you aren’t ready to homeschool but want something different for your child that isn’t public education.

  • Yes! It can supplement (add to what you’re doing already) or fully replace. You decide!

  • Yes! You choose how often you’d like your child to attend. We are open Monday-Friday.

    You can also enroll your child mid-year.

  • $1,550 per month, and $1,500 per sibling (regardless if full time or part time).

    Payment plans are available as well.

  • Michelle Galto, founder/lead teacher, has 10 years of experience in a classroom. She has her masters in Teaching and Educational Leadership from Regis, and a bachelors in English and Elementary Education.
