FreedomProject Academy & Media

What FreedomProject Academy & Media does

FreedomProject Academy (FPA) is a fully accredited, nonprofit online K-12 school founded in 2011 and operated as a program of the American Opinion Foundation, Inc. (Federal Tax ID: 20-3968122), headquartered in Appleton, Wisconsin. The school delivers classical education built on Judeo-Christian principles, explicitly designed without Common Core mandates, critical race theory, radical sex education, or social-emotional learning agendas. FPA is accredited by the National Association of Private Schools (NAPS) and serves students across all 50 U.S. states and approximately 12 foreign countries, including missionary and military families.

The school's product portfolio spans three core academic tracks: LIVE (scheduled interactive online classes with real-time instruction), ANYTIME (self-paced pre-recorded courses with grading and transcripts), and HOMESCHOOL (pre-recorded content with parent-directed pacing). Delivery runs on Canvas LMS by Instructure with Adobe Connect for live sessions, Blackbaud for enrollment, and Shopify for course sales. Supplementary offerings include a Summer School program, an Adult Enrichment Program, 25+ extracurricular clubs spanning arts, languages, and technical subjects, and the Class Dismissed podcast distributed via YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Music.

FPA operates a hybrid B2C and B2B model: direct-to-consumer tuition (e.g., $550 per ANYTIME high school course, $350 per HOMESCHOOL or Summer School course, $500 per Adult Enrichment course) layered with a Partnership School Program that licenses LIVE and ANYTIME courses to churches and private schools (K-5 at $3,000/year/student; 6-12 at $775/course). Funding is supplemented by tax-deductible donations channeled through Patriots for Education to the American Opinion Foundation. The organization has ~24 FTE staff supported by an extended educator pool of approximately 40 teachers, and received 2026 recognition as a 'Leading School Transforming Education' (The Education Magazine) and '2026 Christian School of the Year' (Education Insider Magazine).
