Founders Classical Academy of Mesquite, Mesquite | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

I have been involved with teaching since 2009. I taught in several public schools in California as well as Washington State, but Founders Mesquite has the best curriculum I have ever seen. Unlike other schools, FCA Mesquite focuses on logic, reason, and virtue to a much higher degree. This practice is greatly reflected in the courtesy of the students, their respect as well as their willingness to work, listen, and cooperate. The students of Founders know more accurate history than many principals in the USA. Students that graduate from FCA Mesquite will be better critical thinkers than most college graduates. They will be more self reflective and introspective than many adults.

This is only possible, because the staff assembled to teach the students is “overqualified” to teach. Several faculty at FCA Mesquite have doctoral degrees in related or unrelated fields, but it allows for them to make profound connections with the students between ideas and their consequences on the real world. Most of the staff who only hold a Bachelor’s degree, still have a high level of expertise that is uncommon amongst even the educated. This inevitably, rubs off on the students and spurs an insatiable curiosity in many of the children.

As an employee, I have rarely experienced such a supportive and loving administration. My superiors are always willing to lend an ear and to help, something that is sadly missing from far too many work environments.

Of course the school is not perfect. It has its flaws as do the staff, but the reality is that there is something very special happening at FCA Mesquite. I encourage parents to give this school a chance and to keep their children here for as long as possible. Doing so would be a great boon, not just for the children, but also for the people who will be affected by these children. FCA Mesquite does not just educate minds, but also forges iron wills, gentle hearts, civility and self reflection; something the world is in dire need of.

Honestly the schools great and all but theres a horrible dissmisal line and theres so many rule like i have to pay alot of money just on uniform the school asks for alot thing. They ask for specific jaket and if it doesn’t hit the standard kids are put in iss or parents have to drive back to give there child the correct uniform jacket or sweater. There is also a thing called a red book were when children mess up or come to class tardy they sign the book, I personally don’t like this because last year students get a fresh start every quarter but this year student dont have that. So now your child can got to the office again even if they havent been bad for a long time. Dissmisal line every parent know that this is a pain. Theres an tall man always blowing a whistle that is very irritating and were always yelled at by the people doing the dissmisal line and the wait is basically an eternity. These are just a couple of things i want to change but other then that i really like the curriculum and the school is really amazing.

Founders is the best school. The teachers know my children, and take interest in them. They have unique clubs and electives! My kids get free opportunities at this school that would cost me lots of money elsewhere. My first grade daughter is reading chapter books! My 9th grader LOVES school and hates to miss or be picked up early! My seventh grader is taking interest in the things they are learning that are unique to classical education outside of school!

The principals respond promptly to messeges. They teach values. This is not a public school with a ton of funding and high tech equipment, but the level of education these students are learning is quality and it gets better every year. Many of the teachers drive more than and hour to work here. And the college that the teachers get trained at- Hillsdale- is AMAZING.
