VARIABLE TUITION

Freeman Academy is committed to making quality Christian education affordable for families, regardless of their financial situation.

TUITION INCLUDES:

  • The cost of instruction
  • Resource teacher assistance
  • Textbooks
  • Personal laptop
  • Science lab materials
  • Art supplies and pottery clay
  • Field trips

Who can apply?

Prospective or enrolled families unable to pay full tuition.

How do families apply?

In the spring, interested families can setup an online account with the TADS (Tested And Designed by Schools) assessment service.

TADS is a confidential service for independent schools across the U.S. that develops a financial plan for each family and recommends an appropriate tuition level.

Families must complete a TADS application each year to qualify for Variable Tuition. TADS charges $30 per family for this service.

ITEMS NOT INCLUDED: 

  • Music lessons

Dr. Brad Anderson

Head of School

Brad (Braden) grew up in Wichita, Kansas, part of a family of educators. He earned a BA in Political Science/History from Wichita State, at which point he worked as a quality assurance manager for aviation-related companies in Wichita. Discerning a call to academics, he then completed a MA in Political Science from the University of Kansas. After reading Anabaptist theology and political thought, Brad shifted his focus to theology, earning a MA and PhD from Marquette University, with a focus on Theology and Society. He went on to teach courses at the college level in theology, ethics, and politics, as well as work in academic administration, non-profit program direction, and private consultancy. He is the author of Chosen Nation: Scripture, Theopolitics, and the Project of National Identity, as well as journal articles on Christian nationalism and biblical interpretation. Brad came to FA in 2017, teaching high school Bible and Social Studies, and serving as Assistant Head of School and then Academic Dean. He began as Head of School in July, 2022. Brad is married to Elizabeth, with whom he shares three children: Benjamin (FA ’21), Madelyn, and Katelyn. He enjoys piano and arranging music, reading fiction and history, watching movies, playing strategy games, and conversation and laughter with friends. The Andersons are active at Salem Mennonite Church, southeast of Freeman.
