Kingdom Formation Academy
Education and Discipleship
in the Same Conversation
A K–12 formation curriculum for covenant families — delivered through TaMOS, aligned to Texas standards, and rooted in the ABC Whole Leadership Model.
“Formation is the metric. Fruit is the evidence. Character is the credential.”
Academy Leadership
Built by a Family, for Families
KFA is co-directed by Dr. J and Ruby Rodriguez — the same partnership that has carried Troika Ministries through 28 years of marriage and ministry together. It is not a product. It is a household extending its formation to yours.

Texas Families — School Choice
Texas HB 1 (2025) created Education Savings Accounts providing $2,000 per student per year for homeschool families (K–12 only; program begins 2026–2027 school year). Texas families apply ~$1,500 to KFA and keep the remaining ~$500 for internet and devices — making KFA effectively $0 out-of-pocket for qualifying Texas families. The King’s funds, for Kingdom formation.

Four Stages of Formation
From First Wonder to Covenant Calling
Stage 1
Early Childhood Formation
PreK–K · Ages 3–6
"I Am Known. I Am Loved."
Attitude · Love · Joy · Peace
Before instruction, belonging. Before curriculum, covenant. Every child learns one thing above all else: I am seen by God. I am safe in His house.
Stage 2
Elementary Expansion
Grades 1–5 · Ages 6–11
"I Am Growing. I Can Choose."
Behavior · Patience · Kindness · Goodness
Children begin to see that their choices have weight. That how they treat others is a form of Kingdom work. Character is built daily, not overnight.
Stage 3
Secondary Development
Grades 6–8 · Ages 11–14
"I Am Being Formed. Who Am I Becoming?"
Character (begins) · Faithfulness · Gentleness · Self-Control
Formation gets real. Identity is negotiated. TaMOS access begins. Troika Score baseline at Grade 8. KFA meets adolescents in the tension — naming it, not avoiding it.
Stage 4
Advanced Formation
Grades 9–12 · Ages 14–18
"I Am Called. I Will Lead Whole."
All Three — Integrated · All nine fruits — unified
College-ready, vocation-ready, covenant-ready. Troika Academy courses. Formation Thesis. Covenant Commissioning. The graduate knows who they are, how they live, and what they're building.
KFA Lite (Free): For families outside Texas or facing financial hardship — limited access, covenant of engagement required. We will not let cost be the barrier. Contact info@troikaministries.org to apply.
Kingdom Language Formation
ESL — Language as Formation
Language is not just communication — it is formation. KFA Language Formation (ESL) is woven into every KFA stage. Students learn English in the same covenant context as the rest of their curriculum — Scripture as the primary text, the TROIKA lesson framework as the teaching method, and the ABC formation cycle as the discipleship spine.
Stage 1
Words for Wonder
PreK–K · Pre-A1→A1 · Attitude
Oral-first foundation. Creation vocabulary, identity words, Bible names. Parent as the first language teacher.
Stage 2
Stories That Form
Gr. 1–5 · A1→A2 · Behavior
Literacy through Bible narrative. Parables of Jesus. Sentence building from story structure.
Stage 3
Language for Formation
Gr. 6–8 · A2→B1 · Character
Academic language, essay structure, testimony writing. "This is my story in this language."
Stage 4
Leadership Language
Gr. 9–12 · B1→B2 · All Three
College-ready English, Formation Thesis, public speaking, cross-cultural communication.
The TROIKA Lesson Framework
T
Text
Scripture as anchor — vocabulary in context
R
Relationships
Peer + family conversation practice
O
Ownership
"How do I say my story?"
I
Integration
Language moves into real daily life
K
Kingdom Practice
Service as the highest language task
A
Assessment
Formation check — fruit, not test scores
Adult Language Formation Track
Available for parents learning alongside their children, immigrants building new lives, and anyone called to carry Kingdom purpose in a language that is not yet home. Four levels (A1→B2). Small groups of 6–8 learners with between-session AI Shepherd support. Same ABC + TROIKA framework. Life integration: practical communication, testimony, community, workplace English.
Adult track enrollment: info@troikaministries.org
KFA Language Formation is included in K–12 KFA enrollment. Not a separate fee.
Kingdom Operating System
What Governs KFA
The Kingdom Formation Academy operates within the Kingdom Operating System (KOS) — the theological and governance framework underlying all of Troika Ministries. Where TaMOS is the platform, KOS is the Kingdom DNA: ordering formation from child to elder, home to community, calling to legacy.
Kingdom Identity
Every person is made in the image of God — called to bear fruit
Kingdom Authority
Authority flows downward through covenant — family, church, community
Kingdom Formation
The Spirit forms character over time; formation precedes function
Kingdom Assignment
Every person has a specific assignment — vocation as covenant responsibility
Kingdom Multiplication
Formation that does not multiply is incomplete — leaders form leaders
“Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.” — Psalm 127:1
Formation Starts at Home
You Are the Primary Former
KFA does not replace the parent. It equips them. No curriculum, AI, or program can do what a parent does — and KFA is designed knowing this. The platform is the support. The home is the formation house.
Weekly Formation Digest
One formation insight from the week's curriculum with a conversation prompt — delivered to the parent's TaMOS account.
Monthly ABC Reviews
Guided questions for parent + child formation conversation — not a report card, a witness circle.
Shepherd for Parents
Access to the Faithful Shepherd AI for parenting wisdom, formation guidance, and covenant encouragement.
Parent Formation Community
Cohort with other KFA families — peer encouragement and accountability for parents who are also being formed.
“KFA teaches children formation. TaMOS teaches parents that they are being formed too.”
Advanced Formation — Grades 9-12
Troika Academy Integration
High school students in Stage 4 begin engaging Troika Academy formation courses alongside their academic curriculum — building the ABC framework into their emerging leadership identity.
Grades 9–10
D.R.E.A.M. + A.R.I.S.E.
Attitude Track
Grades 10–11
A.C.E. + H.E.L.P.
Behavior Track
Grade 12
L.O.Y.A.L. + W.I.N. + T.R.O.I.K.A.
Character + Capstone
Senior Capstone — Formation Thesis + Covenant Commissioning
Every KFA graduate completes a 10–15 page Formation Thesis (“Who have I been formed to be? What is my Kingdom Assignment?”), a Legacy Project demonstrating all three ABC dimensions, a final Troika Score assessment, and a Covenant Commissioning — family and community sending the graduate into their calling with prayer and blessing.

Phase 1 — Now through June 13, 2026
Invitation-Only Seeder Phase
The Kingdom Formation Academy is currently open to a small group of seeder families by invitation and recognition only. This is not a waitlist — it is a covenant. The curriculum architecture is complete. Content creation is underway. Families in Phase 1 help shape the curriculum by walking it first.
Public launch: June 13, 2026 — the 30th anniversary of Dr. J’s salvation. That is not an arbitrary date. It is a declaration.
“These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.”
Deuteronomy 6:6–7 (NIV)
This Is Not a Program.
It is a covenant. Education and formation in the same conversation. The home is the formation house. TaMOS is the support. The Spirit is the teacher.
“Lead Whole. Live True.”
