Our Story

Rooted in Faith.
Driven by Results.

The Academy at True Sanctuary of Praise was founded on the conviction that every child deserves a quality education grounded in God's unchanging Word. Located in Riverview, FL, our private Christian school serves students from Pre-K 3 through 5th Grade, offering a faith-based learning environment where each child is known, valued, and challenged to reach their full potential.

Our school has earned recognition for exceptional VPK Kindergarten Readiness results in the county, and our graduates consistently demonstrate high levels of academic success in subsequent schools. Parents regularly credit the strong foundation built here as the reason their children thrive. Students who complete our program typically perform two to three grade levels above their peers in Reading and Math.

Today, The Academy at True Sanctuary of Praise serves approximately 80 students with a goal of reaching 150, maintaining intentionally small class sizes of up to 20 students per teacher so every scholar receives the personal attention they deserve. We partner with the Title 1 County Catapult Learning program to provide additional counseling and tutoring support, ensuring no child is left behind.
