I can`t put into words how much my daughter loves going to FCCS. The teachers are dedicated to giving them the education, love, and attention she needs. It`s a safe environment for them and as a parent, I`m great full how involved the teachers are. They provide the education that is required by the state and share the values that we want to instill in our children. The facility is always maintained and the children learn the value of being organized and being proud of having responsibilities in the classroom and facility.

Fort Collins Christian School was a huge answer to our prayer for a school that would partner with us in raising our children with a Christian worldview. We have been so impressed with how the staff has demonstrated a genuine interest not only in academic excellence but also in shepherding our children's hearts. The staff is amazing at bringing out our children's academic potential. Our children genuinely love going to Fort Collins Christian School. The school met our children where they were academically and was able to provide individualized focus on areas that needed attention. We are so incredibly grateful for the school and staff.

This school has everything we were looking for. They offer small classes, a nurturing learning environment, arts, music, crafts, and academic excellence. We moved our daughter from another school because they didn`t teach to our academic standards and got so much more. The staff is amazing and empathetic here. My daughter looks forward to going to school. Fort Collins Christian school offers a fantastic balance of academics and our daughter blossoms every day. The school is affordable and offers the diverse demographics we sought. It is always clean and welcoming. They offer the safety features we were looking for. We could not ask for more and I simply cannot say enough positive things about our experience!

This school has been such a blessing! I am amazed at how well my daughter is learning and retaining the information that she has been taught! Her teachers, as well as ALL the staff, are both nurturing, and compassionate, and make the building a happy place to be in. Together with parents, they help to form a great team with expectations that raise the children to respectful and loving contributors to society. Love the school's core values and foundation! I feel at peace dropping my little girl off at school. It is a haven for our little family. Thank you to all the staff; you make a difference!!

My kids have done so well at Fort Collins Christian School. They enjoy doing school work and love learning new Christian stories in a fun way. They get the proper attention needed to be successful but learn independence too. The teachers love and care for the kids. The school is a close-knit family and has excellent support from the church community. Excellent decision for us to attend the school!

We enrolled our son because he was falling behind during online learning at a different school. Fort Collins Christian was able to be in person. He received a lot of one-on-one attention and was able to work through nearly 2 years' worth of math in one school year. He feels like he is well prepared to enter High School in the fall and is even sad that this school year is over, not only because he will miss his friends but mainly because he will miss Mr. Breese, his teacher.

We could not ask for a better school! The teachers are so loving and dedicated. I know that my children are safe and happy. I have been so impressed with the curriculum at this school because the teachers tailor their lessons to meet the needs of each student. My children have been very motivated to succeed and have achieved much higher than normal grade level standards because of the caring and individualized attention they have received. In addition to an amazing curriculum, this school does an excellent job of prioritizing values like honor and respect. I would highly recommend this school to any family.

Our child has been at FCCS for three years, starting the inaugural year at the school's current location. It's across the street from the police station and has a secure entry, making it most likely the safest school in town. If you are looking for a school where your child is known and loved, look no further! The kindergarten program has an energetic teaching style and the instructors are cognizant of where each student is in their learning process; striving to serve their strengths and weaknesses to assist us, the parents, in creating well-rounded individuals. We are confident our child is beyond-ready to move on to the next grade-level!

The school provides enough emphasis on religious that each child knows God loves them without being over-the-top in case your family considers yourself a Christian but is not associated with the connected church. The kindergarten program is academically strong and well established. Small class sizes are offered in a personal setting. Our child has always felt included and happy to attend the next day. We appreciate the diversity and upholding strong morals and values. It's overall been a positive experience for our child and family.

My daughter is crazy about this school. She is in 5th grade and she is so involved in the school's program and activities that make me very happy. As for me, what I like about Fort Collins Christian School is its focus on preparing the students not only academic wise but also values and service as the basis for a good life. By the way, the facility is awesome, brand new and at an excellent location.

Great school. Brand new facility. Teachers are compassionate and caring, always going beyond the call of duty. Prices are very reasonable. Keiko, Dennis, and Jessica are amazing. Highly recommend it. Our three year old loves going to school and we feel very safe sending her there with a great security system, buzz-in system, and located right across the fort collins police station. What a win!
