"Foothills Academy was founded
to serve academically advanced students who are
college-bound and who flourish in a highly personalized
learning environment. Our task is to balance
student-centered, personalized teaching approaches with
the curriculum-centered emphasis of college preparation.
To maintain our productive academic environment we have
kept our classes informal, allowing each student to grow
and develop to maximum potential. Our teachers are
qualified to teach their subject areas at advanced
levels. At the same time they are sensitive to students'
personal needs. Finally, an outstanding quality of
educational life at Foothills Academy is friendship. Students
from grades 6-12 can be be seen on the campus
grounds talking as friends, regardless of age or height. And,
it's not unusual to find a faculty member among the
students, laughing and talking as one of the group.
Foothills Academy students can think on their own, they
can exercise leadership, they are sensitive to their
surroundings, and they are able to develop rich social
relationships. Foothills Academy graduates take these
qualities with them in a powerful combination for their
future." — Dr. Donald
Senneville, Director/Principal
