Our Part of the Contract: We built Freedom Mountain Academy so that a few young Americans could attend a school where they would learn through living as well as through studying. Here at FMA we are a team. Everyone makes it to the top of the mountain on every one of our expeditions because we work together and nobody gets left behind. The same spirit prevails in the classroom.

Life in a boarding school centers on community and fosters an awareness of personal responsibilities and rights. Sharing living space means sharing experiences, tolerating differences, and developing an awareness of the value of meaningful relationships. Life at Freedom Mountain Academy is founded on honesty, mutual trust, and respect for others. We require that every student abide by and support the rules established to ensure the rights of the individual as well as the well-being of the entire community. Freedom Mountain Academy is a school of limited enrollment. Charges are made for a place in the school, not for a period of attendance. A student’s absence does not materially decrease the expenses of the Academy; hence, parents are responsible for the full payment of a school year, or for such part of the school year.

Your Part of the Contract: I choose to attend this school fully understanding that FMA seeks to provide a wholesome and productive environment in which to live and learn. As a result:

• I agree to make every effort to get along with my fellow classmates and prove myself worthy of trust.
• I agree to abide by the rules and conditions set forth by the Directors in all areas including, but in no way limited to, those listed below:
  • The use of tobacco, alcohol and recreational drugs is strictly forbidden.
  • No electronic devices of any kind are allowed without approval.
  • No firearms are allowed.
  • Prescription drugs may be used only with the prior approval and direct supervision of the Directors or staff and may never be stored in student rooms.
  • Over-the-counter medications are allowed only with the prior approval and direct supervision of the Directors or staff;
  • Clothing items limited to those issued by the school and those which have been given specific approval by the Directors or staff.
If you have read this far and still think that Freedom Mountain Academy will provide you with an important year of adventure in your life — and you think that now is the time for that adventure — sign below and welcome aboard!
