The Academy’s spring mission trip to Morristown was more than just a week of service; it was a transformative time of spiritual growth. Through intentional acts of kindness and service, students discovered the true meaning of discipleship and the love of God. As they carry the lessons and memories of their trip forward, they are empowered to live out their faith boldly and compassionately, making a tangible difference in the world around them and embodying the spirit of love and service that defines the kingdom of God.
This month, the Academy for GOD celebrated students with academic honors by awarding our Principal's Award from Principal Alex Castro and our Headmaster's Award from Headmaster Gregg Garner. Over 50 jr high and high students were acknowledged at the Academy for GOD.
During lunch, our value of “global consciousness” is demonstrated by introducing students to culturally diverse meals. Learning to eat a meal from another culture can start at a very early age and will allow students to have a diverse pallet into adulthood. Including culturally diverse meals isn’t just about giving students options, it is rooted in teaching them about world outside of themselves. Students can truly learn to appreciate other ways of life by learning to eat foods that taste and smell different from what they may normally eat.
Our commitment to providing quality education through remote learning has opened doors for students around the world, fostering holistic development and creating positive, lasting impacts.
Old Hickory, TN — In 2015, The Academy for GOD commenced its farm to school meal program to address the way students experience school meals. Today, as we celebrate the anniversary of our Farm-to-Table School Meal Program, we reflect on a decade of growth, sustainability, and nourishing the minds and bodies of our K-12 students.
This semester, Principal Castro was asked by a Dr. Nicole Cobb at Vanderbilt to guest lecture for a school counseling course.
Thankfully, at the Academy, you don’t have to worry about whether or not you made the right decision, because if you are looking for a place where Biblically literate staff will do their best to ensure your child is mentally, socially, and spiritually prepared for the world they live in, then you are at the right place. Yeah, it may take some time to get adjusted, but we think you’ll like it.
Jr High and High Academy students are provided with an opportunity to serve in their local communities each summer. Mission trips with SLAM are meaningful and focused times for students to connect with the Lord through worship and ministry together.
