With a focus on the Fox River watershed, core subject areas are taught through an integrated, engaging curriculum in multi-age classrooms. Emphasis is placed on empowering students to make critical connections between hands-on observations and learned knowledge using analytical thin

king skills. Weekly field experiences bring the classrooms outdoors and inspire students to be passionate stewards and involved citizens.

Our Fox River Academy 20th Anniversary Celebration was a huge success! 🎉

A huge THANK YOU to all of our amazing guardian volunteers—we couldn’t have done it without you! ❤️

There were smiles everywhere as past, present, and future FRA students enjoyed games, met animals, got henna and face paint, and visited the food trucks. What an incredible turnout and a wonderful reminder of what makes our FRA community so special!

Thank you to everyone who came out and helped make the day so memorable! 🦊

The heat didn’t stop us from getting outside and having fun! ☀️🦊

Our Student Council planned an outdoor rotation day for the entire school, giving students the chance to explore, connect, and make a difference together. Rotations included birdwatching, trash pickup, building animal houses, and hiking! 🌿🐦🥾

Students chose two activities and worked in multi-age groups, allowing them to build new friendships and connect with classmates they may not usually spend time with.

Way to go, Fox River Academy! We are so proud of our students for embracing adventure, teamwork, and caring for the world around them! 💚

Wade House really helped us take a step back- in time! 3/4 went on a field trip to help learn more about life in the past in a real historical site.
We learned about blacksmithing, games, making candles, and more! This is an amazing historical place that was worth the drive.
