Faith Christian Academy is a private, non-denominational Christian school located in Martinsburg, West Virginia. It serves students in pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade and emphasizes a Christ-centered, college-preparatory education with a Biblical worldview.
History Faith Christian Academy was established in 1983 by Faith Assembly of God in Martinsburg, West Virginia, building on the earlier Melodyland Nursery School founded in 1976. The school opened with 49 students and five faculty members.
It has since grown into an independent, inter-denominational institution representing over 50 different churches and serving families from West Virginia, Maryland, and Virginia.
The school achieved accreditation from the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) in 1997 (initial seven-year term, with subsequent re-accreditations) and is jointly accredited by Cognia (formerly North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement) and the State of West Virginia.
