Freedom Preparatory Academy

Sports Philosophy

Freedom Prep Academy’s Athletic Program is a natural extension of the school curriculum that provides for the growth and development of Freedom students. Athletics provide a great venue for teaching numerous qualities and life skills that are essential to the development of Freedom’s student-athletes.

Our desire is to develop the mind, body, and spirit of our students through participation on our athletic teams.

As a member of an athletic team, students will learn to be better communicators and goal setters and will be challenged to develop a strong work ethic. The importance of commitment to team, perseverance through adversity, and good sportsmanship are an important focus of the athletic program. Athletic participation is encouraged for all students in grades 6–12 who are willing to commit time and effort to practice and play.
