About Us | Free State Academy - Serving Central Virginia

FSA is a non-public school providing an educational alternative that is as close to free as possible. FSA is mastery-based in a classical education format focusing on patriotism and virtue training from a Biblical perspective.

In the fall of 2021, the Bedford County School System was in moral disarray, dealing with transgender bathroom and COVID-19 issues, and several other issues that caused conservatives within the Bedford County Militia, Inc. to start looking at starting a Homeschool Co-op.

Sparked by a single Militia member who was fed up with the public schools, there were a series of meetings seeking a solution from within the Militia. Shortly after the meeting started, another member of the Militia, who for several years had a desire to start a school one day, joined the Militia members who were trying to form a co-op. Out of these series of meetings within the Militia the idea of “Free State Academy” was eventually born.

With the help of many volunteers, a structure and plan were formed as leadership of this new school was handed off to this growing group of new leaders. Free State Academy, Inc. was incorporated September 21, 2021, and a Board of Directors was formed consisting of several new volunteers as well as two of the original Militia members.

In the Spring of 2022, Free State Academy ran a Pilot Program that served to mold what would be Free State Academy's first full school year starting in the fall of 2022.

The Holy Bible is the very Word of God in its entirety and is our only authority in matters of faith and practice.

In the one and only God, our creator of the universe, who is eternally existing in the persons

of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, crucified for our sins, and

raised from the dead in eternal victory.

Faith alone in Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, is the only way to eternal life.

The Holy Spirit is a personal Being who convicts the world of sin and who regenerates, indwells,

empowers, guides, and seals believers eternally for God.

Heaven is the abode of God and the place of eternal joy for the saved, and that Hell is the

place of eternal punishment of separation from God for the lost.

Marriage is God’s sacred gift and is to be between one man and one woman.

Gender is God’s sacred design and is to be determined at conception, unchangeable by man.

We believe human life begins at conception and is protected from conception to natural death.
