ACADEMICS
The major strength of any school is the teaching staff. At FCS, we have a dedicated group of men and women who have been called by God to be educators. Our outstanding faculty and staff are ready and anxious to assist your child in developing to his or her full potential.
We are committed to providing a biblically-based education to children and young people from Kindergarten through grade 12. Because Jesus Christ is pre-eminent at FCS, a positive Christian environment is encouraged to help develop Christ-like attitudes and behavior. Every subject in the curriculum is taught from a Christian perspective and reinforces the importance of using biblical principles to confront daily life in order to honor God and parents. Bible courses are taught at every grade level, along with daily devotions and weekly chapel services for spiritual growth.
At FCS we divide the education process into three stages:
Kindergarten - Here we begin building a strong foundation with phonics, listening, and writing skills.
Elementary - We strengthen basic skills in math, reading, and language arts; as well as courses in science, social studies, spelling, handwriting, art, music, and physical education. Each student is challenged to develop their academic, creative, and spiritual gifts for personal growth and the encouragement of others.
Secondary - In our final stage, we prepare our students with an academically challenging instructional program for those preparing for college, technical school, or employment. Our college preparatory, business, and general courses provide a range of studies to meet a variety of student needs.
As well as basic education skills, FCS encourages Fun and Personal Expression through the arts and athletics!
