Our Story

King’s Way Academy cultivates the spirit of the Crusades—a call to Christian conquest—through the Gospel and righteousness. Join us in raising a generation of children equipped to hold the line, Christianize their homeland, and push back the darkness of the world.

King's Way's History

In 2022, a Bible study led by Pastor Dale Partridge in Cottonwood, Arizona, grew into a small house church. In 2023, that community relocated to Prescott and became King’s Way Reformed Church.

With a congregation made up entirely of homeschooling families and a shared passion for multi-generational impact in the city of Prescott, the elders of King’s Way prayerfully decided to start a private Christian school—one with a unique hybrid model, a strong biblical worldview, and an emphasis on experiential learning.

“We are in a war of worldviews. It is the duty of Christian parents to give their children a Christian worldview. That begins with a robust Christian education.”

– Dale Partridge

Our Distinctives

Hybrid 2/3 Collegiate Model

Parents drop off their children for on-campus classes two days a week, then guide them at home three days using the school’s curriculum and support—blending the strength of a Christ-centered private school with the freedom of homeschooling.

Classical + Charlotte Mason

We blend the structure of classical education with the wonder of the Charlotte Mason approach—grounding students in grammar, logic, and rhetoric while cultivating a love for beauty, story, biographies, and experiential learning.

Deep Covenant Community

You’re not just enrolling your child in a school—you’re joining a vibrant, intentional community of like-minded families committed to Christ, to one another, and to raising the next generation in truth, courage, and biblical faithfulness.

Classical + Charlotte Mason

While our curriculum is not purely classical or purely Charlotte Mason, our teachers intentionally blend both philosophies. They guide students through the grammar, dialectic, and rhetoric stages of learning while also using living books and narration-based discussions in literature. This approach allows King’s Way Academy to offer a rich and balanced educational experience.

Forms, Not Grades

Instead of traditional grades, we group students into forms—two grade levels combined (e.g., 1st–2nd are one form while 3rd–4th are another). This allows for flexible learning, peer mentorship, and a more natural pace of development, helping students grow in both confidence and mastery.

Student Legions

Each form belongs to a Student Legion—Squires, Knights, Crusaders, Templars, and Kingsmen—titles that reflect a path of growth in wisdom, courage, and leadership. These identities reinforce our crusader theme and give students a sense of purpose, honor, and belonging.

Headmaster - Joseph Houser

“Our central hope for the students at King’s Way is that they know Christ deeply—both in heart and in how they live. In a generation desperate for courageous men and women, we believe King’s Way Academy is uniquely equipped to help raise those who can restore order to our broken society.”

Four Common Questions

1. What is your school’s theological foundation?

King’s Way Academy adheres to the Westminster Confession of Faith, a historic doctrinal standard written in 1646 following the Protestant Reformation. It remains the most enduring and comprehensive statement of faith in Protestant history, grounding our teaching in a robust and time-tested biblical theology.

2. What curriculum do you use?

We use exclusively Christian curriculum, including programs such as The Mystery of History, The Biggest Story, Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW), Master Books, and others. Our faculty not only utilizes these resources but also adapts, enhances, and expands upon them to create a rich, hands-on learning environment rooted in a biblical worldview.

3. What kind of culture and character formation do you cultivate?

We aim to cultivate children who are honorable, courageous, obedient, and Christ-exalting. Our faculty goes beyond academic instruction, intentionally creating opportunities to shape strong character and instill biblical virtues in both boys and girls.

4. What type of credentials are required for your teachers?

All teachers at King’s Way Academy are considered experts in their subject areas, typically holding a degree or formal training in their field. Each teacher must affirm our statement of faith, be a member in good standing at a local church, and pass a thorough background check.
