Mission

At Armor Academy, our mission is to cultivate a Christ-centered learning environment where students are encouraged to grow in faith, pursue academic excellence, and develop a lifelong love for learning. Based on Ephesians 6:11-13, we want to help support families and raise up children with principles that will help them in their Chrisitan walk and prepare them to impact the world for God’s glory with wisdom, compassion, and integrity.     

Profile

Combining the old with the new, Armor Academy will be housed in a one-room schoolhouse.  The former Southfork School east of Everest (most recently used as the Everest American Legion) will be the home of the faith-based micro-school.  The school is now in place and the addition has been added thanks to the help of generous donors through Match Days 2025.  The building still needs to be finished, including the exterior paint and stucco.  The bathroom and kitchen need to be completed, as well as HVAC.
