About Us
Hi, We're the Arnold family.
FaithCoast Academy [Founders]
Pastors of FaithCoast (a Spirit-filled, Assemblies of God church in Destin, FL), Pastors Darius and Jane Arnold, along with their daughters, Reagan (15) and Lincoln (10) are bringing their passion for Christian Education to Destin, FL by launching FaithCoast Academy in January 2023 (serving grades K-8).
The 2022/2023 school year is the very first year of this brand-new school which will strengthen children's knowledge of God's Word, guide them toward a life-giving relationship with Jesus, while providing them with an exceptional Christian education.
Why Select FaithCoast Academy?
This well-established curriculum is not simply built on the principles in God's Word.
God's Word is taught all throughout each lesson, in every single subject.
The curriculum is not based on the age of each student, but rather upon their specific level of comprehension in each subject.
Traditional education moves children along (regardless of whether they've mastered each concept).
FCA's curriculum identifies the baseline understanding of each student in each subject.
Then, carefully tailors the student's learning experience from that point forward.
This ensures no learning gaps exist which would compromise the student's education.

FaithCoast Academy utilizes the A.C.E. Curriculum
This curriculum has been determined as superior in its overall approach to the traditional classroom setting which far too often allows significant learning gaps to be perpetuated in each student's education.
The A.C.E. curriculum excels by creating an individualized learning plan for each student which gives them the unique support that each child requires by building their learning plan from what they currently comprehend rather than simply based upon their age.
This curriculum has been successfully deployed to educate millions of students over the last 50+ years in 145 different countries across the globe.
FaithCoast Academy has selected this Christ-centered curriculum to provide students with a superior education and the tools needed to grow into the uniquely gifted individual that God created them to be.
A.C.E.'s self-instructional curriculum provides all the basic academic disciplines and instills Godly character into the lives of students. The reasons why the A.C.E. program works can be summarized in these seven key foundational concepts:
1. Integration of Biblical Principles (Scripture memory, wisdom principles)
2. Godly Character Training (A.C.E. characters, 90 character traits of Christ)
3. Mastery-Based Learning
4. Built-In Reinforced System of Learning
5. Individualized Learning
6. Development of Critical Thinking Skills
7. Socialization
Used worldwide and proven to be effective now for over 50 years, it is understandable why A.C.E. is known as THE learning tool for today—and the future!
