Together, we are shaping future leaders who will make a positive impact on their communities and inspire others to do the same. Join us on this transformative journey of building faith, empowering leaders, and creating a better future for all.

Faith Academy Charter School, Rowan County’s only charter school, has grown rapidly since its inception, after the closing of the public school in Faith in 2021.

A twelfth grade will be added in the 2026-'27 school year, along with additional classrooms in K-8.

A total of 1,048 students are enrolled for the current academic year. This meets the board’s enrollment goal.

The school has a wait list of more than 450 families.

New students are chosen each year by lottery.

The school is tuition-free.

Our new school building was completed in October of 2023 to house grades K-9 the first year.

The former public school will be renovated to house grades 9-12.

The board will add an additional grade level each school year until reaching the goal of K-12 in 2026-'27.

Voted Best Elementary and Middle School in Rowan County by readers of The Salisbury Post in 2022-’23.

Charter schools are funded by the North Carolina Department of Public Education at 34% less per student than public schools. State money is not available for charter school facilities.
