About Us
Where Every Learner Begins with Purpose — and Grows with Power
First Phase Core Academy (FPCA) is a private academic school and enrichment center serving students from Preschool through 12th Grade in Orlando, Florida. Our mission is to provide a safe, structured, and nurturing educational environment for students who need personalized learning support, including those with IEPs, learning differences, and unique behavioral or academic challenges.
We specialize in small-group instruction, individualized academic interventions, and culturally responsive curriculum to ensure that every student has the tools they need to succeed — at their own pace, in their own way.
Mission
To empower students with the academic, emotional, and social tools needed to become confident, capable, and community-minded leaders — starting from the first phase of learning.
Vision
We envision an educational space where every student is seen, supported, and strengthened, no matter their learning style or background. At FPCA, learning is not one-size-fits-all — it’s personalized, purposeful, and rooted in compassion.
Who We Serve
We proudly support:
- Students who are underperforming or at risk
- Learners with Individualized Education Plans (IEPs)
- Children needing behavioral or emotional support
- Families seeking a structured, consistent, values-based academic setting
Whether your child is facing academic struggles or simply needs more individualized instruction, FPCA offers a safe space where they can grow, build confidence, and thrive.

What “At Their Core” Means
Academic Support Labs in Reading, Math, Language Arts & Writing
Credentialed & Compassionate Educators who specialize in differentiation
Intervention Services designed for low-growth learners & IEP support
Leadership and Life Skills Labs for future-ready development
Tech-Integrated Hybrid Pods for Grades 6–9 using Microsoft Education, IXL, and Clever
Family Engagement & Coaching built into the learning model
We believe that the first support starts at home, and that the phase of growth forms at the core of our Academy.
