Meet Our Founder
Hi, I'm Cherline, the founder of Faith Builders Christian Academy, a learning center in Lake Worth, FL. With over 10 years of teaching experience, I have witnessed firsthand the challenges that students face in overcrowded traditional classrooms where individual attention is often limited. This inspired me to create Faith Builders Christian Academy as a microschool, where each child is seen, valued, and nurtured in a faith-centered environment designed to help them thrive.
As a passionate educator and a mother, I deeply understand the importance of providing personalized attention and fostering a supportive community. I hold a Master's in Educational Leadership, which has equipped me with the knowledge and vision to lead and inspire our school community. My mission is to ensure every child receives the best possible education while growing spiritually, academically, and emotionally.
My heart is filled with excitement as I look forward to partnering with families in our community!
Who We Are
-
Learning That Is Joyful, Purposeful, and Rooted in Faith
Faith Builders Christian Academy was founded on the belief that education should nurture the whole child—not just academic performance.
We recognize that children are not one-size-fits-all learners. Students thrive when they are supported, understood, and given the freedom to grow at their own pace. Struggles in learning are not signs of inability, but signals that a child needs the right environment and guidance to flourish.
Our classrooms are intentionally designed to:
Limit long periods of desk-based learning
Encourage movement, collaboration, and creativity
Prioritize hands-on, real-life, and project-based experiences
Foster meaningful social interaction and strong relationships
We focus on progress, not pressure, and growth without comparison.
-
Faith Builders Christian Academy envisions a school experience where children grow in faith, confidence, and curiosity—free from pressure, rooted in Christ, and inspired to do great things.
-
Faith Builders Christian Academy exists to provide a joyful, faith-centered learning environment where students learn through hands-on, real-life experiences, grow at their own pace, and are supported academically, socially, and spiritually.
Our Commitment to Students
At Faith Builders Christian Academy, we are committed to:
Seeing and valuing each child as an individual
Providing adequate academic and emotional support
Creating a safe, joyful, and engaging learning environment
Encouraging curiosity, confidence, and resilience
Partnering with families who align with our mission and values
We believe school should feel different—in the best way.
Faith at the Foundation
Faith is not an add-on at Faith Builders Christian Academy—it is the foundation of everything we do.
Students experience faith daily through:
Prayer and devotion
Christ-centered discipline rooted in love and accountability
Biblical values woven into learning and relationships
We strive to cultivate a joyful love for the Lord while helping students develop strong character, confidence, and purpose. Our desire is for each child to leave knowing they are deeply loved by God and capable of doing great things through Him.
“Without faith, nothing is possible. With it, nothing is impossible.”
