Hello! My name is Heather Redinger, and I am the 6 th grade teacher here at FAA. I am passionate about learning and believe every child has the potential for success and the capability of greatness. I am excited to have the opportunity to work alongside the FAA scholars and support them in their pursuit of finding personal success and growth.

   Friendship is the recipient of the Bush Foundation's Individualized Learning Initiative Grant!

2Revolutions, with support from the Bush Foundation, is providing grants to schools working to individualize learning for students. The grant provides educators with support to implement new learning models that make education more relevant for students in terms of who they are, how they learn and what they want to do in life.
Friendship Academy of the Arts have made a commitment to developing and implementing more individualized approaches to learning.
