Founder & CEO

Fredyn Price brings over a decade of educational experience to her role as the Founder and CEO of The Fredyn Academy. Her journey as an educator includes teaching English as a Second Language at Broward College's RENEW Program for refugees, alongside being a certified English and ESL Teacher in New York City. Fredyn also holds a Juris Doctor from Regent University, bringing a diverse background and a profound understanding of educational law and policy to the forefront of her educational mission.

The genesis of The Fredyn Academy is deeply personal for Fredyn, inspired by her desire to provide an optimal learning environment for her own son, who displayed signs of giftedness at an early age. Faced with the limitations of traditional schooling, which neither challenged nor engaged her son sufficiently, Fredyn took a bold step to homeschool her son, focusing on nurturing his natural curiosities and talents in science, math, and the arts. This experience highlighted the need for a specialized educational framework that could better serve gifted students who thrive under innovative and flexible learning conditions.

Determined to transform these insights into a broader educational model, Fredyn established The Fredyn Academy to cater to like-minded gifted students. The school is built on a foundation of STEAM education, encouraging students to engage in hands-on, project-based learning from environmental projects to technological experimentation. Fredyn's leadership at the academy is driven by her vision that education should be a collaborative, engaging, and joyous journey. She advocates for a learning environment where students co-author their educational paths, exploring subjects that ignite their passions and leveraging their intellectual capacities to their fullest potential.

The story of The Fredyn Academy is deeply rooted in the transformative experiences encountered by children who surpass the educational challenges offered by traditional schooling systems. This narrative began when a gifted child, rapidly advancing beyond their peers, faced increasing isolation and dissatisfaction within conventional educational environments. Traditional methods proved insufficient as they stifled the child's curiosity and failed to keep pace with their intellectual growth. Recognizing the urgent need for a tailored approach, an alternative was sought that prioritized the child’s unique learning style and innate brilliance, taking advantage of all their unique gifts.

The shift towards a home-based, interest-led education marked a significant turning point. By focusing on personal interests and allowing for a flexible learning pace, a dramatic improvement in engagement and understanding was observed. This personalized educational approach utilized real-world applications, like the dynamics of spinning tops to explore physics concepts, transforming theoretical knowledge into tangible experiences. This method not only rekindled a joy for learning but also demonstrated the effectiveness of connecting academic concepts directly with a child’s passions.

Inspired by these outcomes, The Fredyn Academy was established as a haven for gifted learners who require an environment that adapts to their exceptional needs. The academy embraces a STEAM-focused curriculum, enriching students through a blend of science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics, integrated with hands-on, project-based learning experiences. It is a place where young minds are encouraged to collaborate, innovate, and excel, far from the confines of traditional educational models. The Fredyn Academy stands as a testament to the belief that all children should have the opportunity to explore their potential in an environment that celebrates and nurtures their individual talents and aspirations.
