About Dave Buckles

As President of Foundation Academy, I feel our school provides the best Christian education in Central Florida. You might say that I am a little biased when it comes to our school, and you’re right. The love our teachers and administration have for the students makes Foundation Academy a school you will want your kids to be a part of. At Foundation, the commitment to education is strong and fruitful with 100 percent college placement since 2010. Our students are graduating with offers from colleges like of Auburn, Citadel, and Harvard, to name just a few, with millions of dollars in scholarship money.
