Best Preschool: First Place

First Presbyterian Academy is a private Christian school in Greenville, South Carolina. Voted Best Private School for three consecutive years and awarded Best Preschool for two years in a row, FPA is dedicated to excellence in education.

We are known as a Small School doing BIG things. FPA  is small by design, offering class sizes to accommodate a curated learning experience while allowing our students to feel fully supported by their teachers. Our small size does not impact the BIG opportunities that our students have both within the school and in the broader community.

Our related arts offerings for Preschool & Lower School include STEM, PE, Art, Music, and Spanish. Our After School Enrichment opportunities include athletic, academic, and artistic pursuits. Our Upper School offers a range of AP courses, diverse clubs, competitive athletics, and enriching fine arts opportunities, providing students with a well-rounded and engaging high school experience.

Our goal is to offer many avenues to allow the students to nurture each student’s God-Given talents, all while learning and having fun! We have two campuses – Downtown Campus and Shannon Forest Campus – with grades K3-12th .
