    "I went to this school for two years and at first it took me awhile to get used to constant laptop use, but eventually laptops became very resourceful. It was a wonderful experience and there is amazing high school counseling for eighth graders going into high school the next year. Your child will get an amazing education and they go on great educational class trips, and the teachers are always there for you. In fact, there are teachers i will never forget. School comes much easier to me now after going to Fort Worth Academy. Your child will always feel welcome and at home. The students are very easy to get along with and make you feel wanted at all times. Whatever your child's academic status is they will always have a way to put them in the right classes needed."

    "There's no place like home, there's no place like home. This is the best school in the world, wonderful teachings, high tech laptops in all classes K-8th, awesome extra enrichment programs offered, chess, art, sports, talented teachers, strong family volunteers, great teachers. Strong academic program, no more than 15 students per class, caring strong board of directors. A good solid academic program, children are preparing for their futures, this school won a highly respected award for being of the top laptop schools. A fun wonderful educational school, not a rigid environment, very comforting, nurtuing caring environment. My children have attended this school for years, the teachers really go out of their way for students. This is a wonderful school that is small, has proven great results where these children get top pics for high school-they have recruiters come trying to get these kids to attend their high school. FWA children are well prepared for the world and the curricula is a solid program. Spanish, technology, math, science, sports, history, all at this great school. Wonderful field trips, great school family events too."

    "Please do not send your child to this school. Once your child gets a laptop, you have to constantly watch to make sure they are not exposed to anything inappropriate. The security procedures on the laptops are very poor and even non-existent in many cases. I don't believe 10-year-olds (5th graders) should be allowed to download almost anything. Kids IM each other during class or try to play games online. These laptops did not replace most of the textbooks and were constantly breaking down or locking up. Once our child got the laptop, math scores declined each year. Overall, the teachers are great, but the administration is very slanted towards big donors. Our child is now at another private school with good leaders and no laptops and scores have improved."

    "Sometimes it's the small things that are the best. With a small k-8th grade laptop technology school, that is breaking down barriers and inspiring education like no other public or private school in the entire metroplex and state of TX for that matter. FWA is by far surpassing many schools in the nation. FWA has won 2 awards within this past year, along with being distinguished for the excellent academics. A small delightful learning environment of no more than 15 kids per class room, Spanish, Science, Math, Reading, PE, Art, Music and more! There are wonderful staff who always take great pride in teaching, this school gets it, it is what it is all about taking care of the kids and inspiring learning. With football, baseball, volleyball, cheerleading, musical instruments lessons, art classes, chess club and technology club, this school is not only inviting, this school, is amazing. Terrific children who love learning, great parental volunteering, and activities all year long with the parents club. This school is not cheap however its not expensive, tuition cost is right in the middle, you get a great value of learning and social interaction for a good price."

    "Teachers middle and lower school, professional, caring and top notch credentials. Academics, hands on technology with integration of all subjects, math, science, reading, social studies etc. Small class size no more than 15 kids per class room. Preppy cute uniforms, lots and lots of added activities after school, reasonably affordable private school with everything offered. K-8th grade co-ed school. Family support by parents who volunteer allot. The school also won an award for being a lap top technology school and has been noted as a great school in various books as a top school in the nation. This school looks at the little details, very helpful and always there for parents. Small class size for productive learning, art and music classes are excellent. Spanish classes are very innovative and hands on. Science classes are exploratory. There are many sports offered, volleyball, football, cheerleading, chess, art, golf, band music classes and Hebrew is offered."
