We have been a FACS family for several years now. Compared with other Christian schools in the area, it is the most affordable, small student-to-teacher ratio, and is diverse. The school is centrally located and easy to navigate. We have found the faculty and staff to be personable and easy to communicate with when needed. Our children also enjoy the educational and social environment provided at FACS!

My experience at Facs has been absolutely wonderful. Both my kids and I feel incredibly at home here, and we have developed a deep love and appreciation for all the staff and faculty. I am grateful every day that I chose this school for my children; it provides a strong foundation in Christ rather than a worldly perspective.

FACS is a hidden jewel in Cordova, TN. We have 2 children at FACS, both started in Jr. K - one is graduating 2020 and other will graduate in 2025. FACS is truly an extended part of our family. Administration, teachers, and staff treat our children like their own. We feel confident that our children will be prepared for the next step in their educational journey once they leave FACS.

First Assembly School is a blessing to students and families. This school provides a warm nurturing environment that encourages and enables all students to achieve success. It not only deepens their academic knowledge but also deepens their growth as children of God. I am so glad that our daughter is a part of this wonderful school.

I wanted to say how impressed and blessed we are to be a part of FACS during this Corona Virus Quarantine. The teachers put lessons, resources, and online classes together in record time so that our kids did not skip a beat after Spring Break. The teachers have stayed in constant communication with my child and has been available to answer any questions my child has had during this new form of learning. We also received a personal phone call from the administration checking on how my child and our family was doing with everything during this time. They asked many questions and wanted honest feedback. The only concern I brought up was immediately addressed by the head of school. I was extremely pleased that our school cares so much for each child and family that we were all contacted personally. AND we were given their personal number to call with any problems or concerns and that they would be checking back again with me next week! This schooling at home may not be the perfect situation but the teachers and staff are going above and beyond to keep our children on the right track to finish the year with flying colors! What a wonderful blessing to be a part of First Assembly Christian School!

First Assembly Christian School has been a huge blessing to our family. I am the parent of two FACS graduates who excelled in college due to the foundation they received while at FACS. They received more than just a great education; They received the love of Christ through all of their teachers/coaches on a daily basis. As a parent, I could not ask for more than that. They both received academic, athletic and fine arts scholarships. I am also a teacher at FACS. I see what goes on behind the scenes to train us to be the best that we can for each student. It is a loving, caring, Christ-like and safe environment to send your children to school.

We sent all 3 of our sons to FACS. The boys all had positive experiences, all were active in sports, and all graduated on time with multiple college scholarships. Well worth the tuition. Godly men and women teaching at this fine school.

My three sons received a great education at FACS, went to college on scholarship, and are successful young adults. More important to me, their teachers and coaches poured into their lives in a way that could only be described as discipleship.
