Welcome New Students

Welcome to Founders Classical Academy of Leander! We are excited that your student is joining our Archer family, and we are looking forward to meeting you! Whether you start on the first day of school or join us somewhere in the middle, we want to provide you with some helpful information and acquaint you with the resources that are available on our school website. Congratulations, and welcome to the Archer family!

FCA Family Handbook

The Founders Classical Academy Family Handbook is our first and most important founding document. It describes the policies and procedures that guide students and parents as they work with teachers and staff to fulfill the school's mission. It exists alongside the ResponsiveEd Parent/Student Handbook, which governs the larger operations of school district.
