Faith Academy is a state-integrated primary school in New Zealand. With a roll of around 150 students Faith Academy is the largest inter-denominational school in the Wanganui area. Teaching the New Zealand state curriculum from a Christian perspective, the school caters for students from New Entrants (Year 0) to Year 8. The school was established and is still owned by Faith City Church (formerly Faith Community Church), a local Assemblies of God in New Zealand church.
History
In 1978 Faith City Church purchased land in Wanganui, New Zealand, for the purpose of establishing a Christian education based school. In 1979 the church opened Faith Academy with a roll of 25 students using the Accelerated Christian Education curriculum, although this was later abandoned. In 1980 the school was officially registered with the New Zealand Ministry of Education. In 1995 Faith Academy became an integrated State School maintaining its Christian character and teaching emphasis.[1]
