Kingdom Formation Academy
Where formation is the operating system, not a subject.
A PreK–12 covenant homeschool curriculum from Troika Ministries. Built on the ABC framework — Attitude, Behavior, Character — anchored in the Fruit of the Spirit, and shaped around four developmental Stages with Memorial Stones at every transition.
Formation is the metric. Fruit is the evidence. Character is the credential.
The Promise
Faith-formed children. Academic depth. Household-shaped.
Faith-formed
ABC formation woven into every subject — math, phonics, science, history. Not a Bible class on top of school. The whole day is formation.
Academic depth
Texas TEKS-aligned in ELA and Math. Systematic phonics in Roots. Algebra → Geometry → Pre-Calc track in Wisdom. Lab science. Composition through rhetoric.
Household-shaped
The parent is the primary former. Multi-age Family Cycles let siblings learn together. Memorial Stones mark every Stage. The home is the school.
The Four Stages
One formation arc from PreK through Grade 12.
Each Stage carries a formation question, an ABC anchor, and a Memorial Stone capstone. The grade bands are guidelines, not gates — TaMOS handles cross-stage placement when a child sits in one Stage for skill work and another for formation.

The Five Streams
Subjects live inside streams. ABC runs through every stream.
Most curricula stack subjects in silos — math, then language arts, then science. KFA organizes around five integrated streams. A week's math is taught inside the same formation arc as that week's Bible reading and that week's craft.
WORD
Bible · theology · KOS · worldview · memory work · liturgy
MIND
Language arts · math · creation science · history · logic · rhetoric
CRAFT
Arts · music · technology · making · vocation · entrepreneurship
BODY
Health · physical stewardship · rest · play · embodied discipleship
CALLING
ABC formation · habits · service · relationships · church partnership
The Four Family Cycles
Multi-age Bible + history + worldview, looped twice.
Beginning in Grade 3, the family enters a multi-year Cycle. Younger siblings encounter each Cycle at picture-book depth; older siblings at primary-source depth. A family loops through all four Cycles roughly twice between Stages 1 and 4.
Creation to Christ
Genesis 1 → Resurrection · ancient world · early geography · simple apologetics
Grades 3–4 (and revisited)
Church & Nations
Acts → Reformation → modern missions · world history · early civics
Grades 5–6 (and revisited)
Kingdom & Culture
American history · church history · cultural engagement · comparative worldview
Grades 7–8 (and revisited)
Wisdom & Vocation
Wisdom literature · economics · vocation · biblical theology of work · technology
Grades 10–11 (and revisited)
Sample Week Spotlight
Kindergarten · Week 1 · Creation, Days 1–3
What a real KFA Monday morning looks like. This is the first week of Roots Year 1 — Genesis 1, the first three letters introduced (M · S · A), counting 0–5 with rocks, drawing “Day 1 — light” for craft.
The week
- Story of God: Genesis 1:1–13 (picture-Bible)
- Fruit theme: Love (1 John 4:19)
- Memory verse:“In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.”
- Phonics: Letters M, S, A — sound, formation, song
- Math: Counting 0–5 with concrete objects; one-to-one correspondence
A real Monday
- 15 min — Morning Stillness · Genesis 1:1–13 read aloud · memory verse intro
- 15 min — Phonics M (sound, formation, song)
- 30+ min — Outdoor / nature walk
- 15 min — Count to 5 with rocks
- 20 min — Craft: draw “Day 1 — light”
- 15 min — Family read-aloud (afternoon)
- 5 min — Bedtime: “What was beautiful today?”
ABC reflection prompt this week
“Look around. What is something beautiful that God made?”
Hard-week floor
If everything goes sideways: read Genesis 1:1–13. Read aloud one picture book. Outdoor play. That is enough.
By Year-End
What your Kindergartener can do.
By the end of Roots Year 1, the child can:
Recites the 9 fruits of the Spirit
Sings or recites the 9 monthly memory verses
Reads CVC words and short sentences (Phase A → D phonics)
Writes their first name and the alphabet
Counts to 20 and writes numerals 1–20
Adds and subtracts within 10 with concrete objects
Tells the Big Story of God in their own words (Creation → Fall → Promise → Jesus → Church)
Names one fruit they have grown in this year
This is sufficient. This is abundant. No comparison to grade-level peers. Faithfulness over perfection.
Memorial Stones
Every Stage transition is marked.
Drawn from Joshua 4 — twelve stones the family of God lifted from the Jordan and stacked on the riverbank as a testimony. KFA inherits the practice. At every Stage transition (and at year-end in Roots), the family gathers, names what God formed, and keeps a real, painted stone on a family shelf.
Roots
First Stones
Painted stone + family liturgy + named fruit
Foundations
Walking Stones
Child writes 4 paragraphs on what God formed
Wisdom
Pillar Stones

For Texas Families
$2,000/student/year — KFA effectively $0 out-of-pocket.
Texas HB 1 (2025) provides $2,000 per student per year for K-12 homeschool families starting 2026–2027. Texas families apply approximately $1,500 of their ESA toward KFA, and keep ~$500 for internet, devices, and supplemental materials.
“The King's funds, for Kingdom formation. We receive that with gratitude and stewardship.”
TEKS coverage
Running KFA Roots Year 1 as written naturally clears the Kindergarten ELAR (§110.2) and Math (§111.2) TEKS floor. KFA publishes a transparent crosswalk for ESA documentation, plus a TaMOS-generated learning log Texas families can submit at year-end. Formation is the ceiling. TEKS is the floor.
