Dear friends, In this season of thanksgiving, I would like to express my gratitude to each of you—our family and friends—for your ongoing support of our mission to provide a challenging educational experience in an inclusive Christian community. From our Stars and Guitars host families to our Giving Day alumni donors, your generous contributions of time, talent, and resources continue to have a significant impact on our school community. Last year, as we navigated the challenges of operating school through the height of the pandemic, your support was critical to the success of our organization. Your commitment to the mission of FRA allowed us to provide the necessary technology, staffing, air purification, classroom space, and equipment required to offer our students and faculty a safe learning environment. Prior to 2020, I could have never imagined a school year where students and families would have the flexibility to choose inperson or remote learning at the start of each day in order to support the health and well-being of our entire community. The success of last year's flexible learning model was due in large part to our faculty's innovative approach, creativity, and unwavering dedication to the student experience—even under the most challenging circumstances. It was inspiring to see our students approach new challenges as opportunities for growth while demonstrating grit, resilience, and determination. I hope you enjoy reading through this report and seeing how your contributions have made a transformational impact on our campus and in the lives of our students. I am grateful and blessed to be a part of this remarkable school community and for the generosity of our donors and volunteers. With abundant gratitude,
Sean R. Casey Head of School

OUR STORY Diana and Brad Sanderson BRIANNA '24 AND BLAKELY '27
We had chosen FRA before our first daughter was even born. We knew we wanted our daughters, Brianna and Blakely, to grow up in a culture supported by a non-denominational, Christian environment. FRA continued to pop up in conversation as we continued to search for somewhere they could grow. Around 2006, Brianna, our oldest daughter, was born and we knew we wanted a place where she could be seen and valued in a setting with small class sizes and a vibrant school community. FRA was the obvious choice. As we looked into schools in the area, it became more apparent that FRA was a place we could envision our family growing and getting involved with the community. The FRAmily was an authentic aspect we could feel as we stepped onto campus and has become more real with each school year. The community at FRA is truly unique, from the way the families know each other, to the way the students interact and support each other. We’ve watched our school community grow, especially over the course of the last year. It’s so exciting to see the changes and transformations that are taking place on our campus, in our students, and in the entire community for the better. Students are able to bond with peers from other grades and experience group learning in advanced spaces that have created opportunities that didn't exist before. It’s exciting to be able to invest in current and future generations as well as their families.
The new common spaces on campus have allowed our daughters the opportunity to interact, see each other, and create deeper bonds. We hope to continue to help create these opportunities for all FRA families. The sky is the limit for FRA, and we are happy to give in support of the future of our campus and our community. It allows us the chance to dream big with FRA and ask ourselves the questions—what else can we give and how else can we help make great things continue to happen here? Being involved and supporting the school has sparked many of those questions and strengthened our true feeling of fellowship in this community. We have had the experience of being grade-level and lower school chairs for the Annual Fund. Making connections and understanding more about the impact of our giving has made us even more passionate about investing in the mission of the school. We feel honored to have the chance to invest in this place. Not only are we investing in our daughters and their futures, but we're investing in every student, faculty, and staff that walks on this campus. As parents, we want each student to have it better than the year before, and FRA is a place continually striving to create the best experience possible. It’s an honor to invest in the vision and mission. Philanthropy Report | 4

Choosing the school where your children, as well as your family will invest and grow is a huge decision. As we began to search for our school family, it all came down to connection. Every time we walked on campus, we felt a connection to the leadership, the mission, and the vision of FRA. After sending all of our children, Andrew, Austin, Gracia, and Audrey through FRA, it’s clear to see the strong focus on community connection, as well as on the investment faculty and staff make in their students. FRA encourages students to grow as unique individuals, while preparing them for the chapters after these hallways. Students have the opportunity to learn to effectively manage time and prioritize projects, while also learning to engage and treat their peers with respect. FRA encompasses the whole student and offers an individualized experience for each. Teachers at FRA make learning a unique experience by building strong relationships, genuinely caring, and encouraging students in each moment of their growth. The students at FRA are called to engage and innovate with programs such as the upcoming entrepreneurship program. Students have the opportunity to meet and collaborate in the innovation labs while learning new methods for building a positive world and helping change it for the better. The construction of state-of-the-art facilities, like the innovation labs, not only serves current students but also helps attract the best families in Nashville. With new facilities comes a greater demand for our school. It is amazing to see the growth, desire for excellence, and connection that continues to form in the school’s family.

This place is more than just a school, it’s a place formed by community, compassion, and integrity. FRA provides an inclusive Christian environment where faith is encouraged but also where there is always room for growth and acceptance. This place is a safe space for students to ask questions and become life-long learners. The FRA experience stretches well beyond students' years on this campus, but becomes a part of who they grow into outside these walls. Education is critical in the entirety of life, and we have an obligation to step in and help where we can. FRA was and is a very important part of our lives and our children’s lives. We give because we want to pay these experiences forward, all while continuing to enhance the experience on this campus. FRA was key in helping our children develop into the individuals they are today, and if we have the chance to give back, why wouldn’t we? As we invest in FRA, we know the return will continue to be great as the community continues to be built on connection and innovation.

Alumni Giving
Dear friends, As we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of FRA, we are grateful for the dedication of all the students, faculty, parents, volunteers, and alumni who gave countless hours to build and strengthen the FRA community. It is with sincere gratitude that we thank you—our dedicated community— for helping support the mission of FRA. Fifty years may seem like a long time, but FRA is still a young institution. As a school community, we continue to break new ground, develop innovative programs, and challenge our students while preparing them for the future. Even with all the innovation and changes across campus, the heart of FRA remains the same. Alumni often tell me that FRA prepared them for each aspect of their life and in many cases, the uniqueness of their experience started with the faculty and staff who touched their hearts and created lasting relationships. Our alumni reminisce about their cherished experiences with friends and classmates who had a positive impact on their lives. I truly believe our alumni are the heart of our school community, and it’s humbling to see their love and appreciation for our faculty and their ongoing support of our mission. This is an exciting time as we celebrate with our alumni, current families, parents of alumni, and all of our friends. I hope you will save the date for our end-of-year event, The Golden Hour: Cheers to 50 Years, on May 14, 2022 as we celebrate our 50th Anniversary. I look forward to seeing you soon. All the best, Nik Simpson, DIRECTOR
