High School teachers know their students and demonstrate a willingness to work with students to see them reach their potential. The school offers standard classroom subjects and also offers additional courses through online based curriculum. Many sports are offered and competitive. There are drama offerings and show choir. My family is very pleased with FACS and glad we made the decision to send our student here after public school and homeschooling.
