The Rogers Lowell Chamber is proud to spotlight one of our members, Founders Classical Academy of Rogers, led by Headmaster Rick Koretoff. As part of the ResponsiveEd network of schools, Founders brings a distinctive approach to public education, offering families in our community the opportunity to enroll in a tuition-free public charter school rooted in the classical liberal arts tradition.
A School with Purpose
The “why” behind Founders Classical Academy is clear: to cultivate knowledgeable, virtuous citizens who are prepared to think critically and contribute meaningfully to society. Their curriculum emphasizes great works of literature, timeless ideas in history and philosophy, and the development of moral character. In a world of constant change, Founders provides students with a foundation in truth, beauty, and goodness—preparing them not only for college and career, but also for life as responsible leaders.
ResponsiveEd and Local Growth
ResponsiveEd, one of the nation’s largest public charter school operators, launched the first Founders Classical Academy in Texas in 2012. Since then, the network has expanded into Arkansas, with campuses now serving students across Northwest Arkansas, including Bentonville and Rogers. These schools share a commitment to delivering high-quality classical education while remaining open and tuition-free to all students, offering parents greater choice in how their children are educated.
Enrollment Now Open
Founders Classical Academy of Rogers is currently enrolling students in grades K–12. As the school continues to grow, it remains dedicated to its mission of shaping students into thoughtful, engaged citizens who will enrich the Rogers-Lowell community for generations to come.
