In September, Faith Academy 
was one of 21 schools in the country to win the Yass Award for Education Freedom.
We were nominated by Governor Reynolds as an exemplary private school in Iowa which is in a position to provide a better education for more students. With our plan to add 7th grade next year and 8th grade the following, we will be doing just that!
The award comes with a $200,000 prize that will go into our budget for the addition of our middle school grades.
The Yass Prize for Sustainable, Transformational, Outstanding and Permissionless education is a rapidly growing effort to find, reward, celebrate and expand best-in-class education organizations from every sector, in every state, and to create unprecedented partnerships that accelerate impact with the speed and urgency our students deserve.
In 2022, the Yass Prize organization awarded $20 million to winners, alumni and special state initiatives.
