Students have a blast researching historical figures and sharing what they've learned. The costumes are an added bonus, making the presentations even better!
We also love seeing our Children’s House students all dressed up for their Halloween parade!
Heading out to trick-or-treat today? Have fun and stay safe, FJA! 🎃🐺
These athletes brought the passion, teamwork, and determination all season long, finishing with an AMAZING 5–1 record! 🙌
They left it all on the field at this week's championship games and came home with 2ND PLACE in the league tournament!
A huge thank-you to Coach Evan for the energy and encouragement he poured into the season, and to our families for cheering and supporting along the way.
And congratulations to our soccer athletes — way to play your hearts out! 💙⚽️
Congratulations to the runners who represented FJA at the Northern Arizona Cross Country Championship on Oct. 24. All runners earned season-best times and some finished in the top 20 in a field of 560 athletes.
These photos capture the spirit of our runners all season long.
👏 A huge thank you to Coach Patterson, Coach Tati, and Coach Hearn for an incredible season. 💙
A special shout-out to our FJA Parent Teacher Group and families for spoiling our staff during conference days! Every time we turned around, there was more hot coffee, homemade treats, and fresh, delicious food waiting for us. ☕️🥐

With our Gemini Campus project complete, Loven Contracting has fulfilled its original commitment to give back to Flagstaff Junior Academy with a generous $31,665 donation.
This contribution is a welcome boost as we continue investing in meaningful academic and experiential opportunities for our students.
Thank you, Loven, for being part of our Gemini story!
Our 6th–8th graders hit the trails for an almost 12-mile ride to Fisher Point and back via Loop Trail. Everyone handled the climbs, descents, and bumps in style.
Big thanks to Neil Ross for sponsoring the club, and to our awesome parents who hauled loaner bikes so everyone could join the ride.
No school doesn’t mean no adventure! 🍂🚴

Loved our cross-campus used book sale! 📚
Gratitude to our middle school librarians for making it such a success—what a great way to extend the life of so many books, now happily in the hands of our elementary students! ❤️
Thank you! 💙 Ms. Shawna’s STEM library project is officially fully funded!
There are still a few hours left for donations to be doubled, so if you’re able, we’d love to make the most of the opportunity and help Ms. Espinoza’s project reach its goal, too: https://www.donorschoose.org/sl/3CHUATQB28
Her project will provide every 8th grader with their own copy of Night, Elie Wiesel’s powerful Holocaust memoir. Every contribution, big or small, helps make that possible. 📚💙
We have THREE FJA book projects through DonorsChoose, and every donation made TODAY will be DOUBLED while funds last! 🎉
