FVCS is a blessing from God. The best reflection of our experience at FVCS is that our son has enjoyed attending the school for the past seven years. The Teachers work to meet the needs of the students while maintaining expectations. The Teachers genuinely care about their students. Educating students may have its challenges, but the spirt of FVCS Teachers is best explained with Philippians 4:6-7 "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6 FVCS mirrors our family life and shepherds students to become adults who reflect God. John Maxwell said, "Change is inevitable. Growth is optional." FVCS embraces the idea of adapting, improvising, and overcoming challenges as they arise.

My children love Fresta and are doing very well. They have knowledgeable and caring teachers who enjoy teaching. Fresta continues to provide a solid Christian foundation for my children, academically, spiritually, and socially. As a parent, I have been encouraged through the family-oriented atmosphere. It has also been wonderful to have open-communication with teachers and staff members. I highly recommend this school if you're looking for: Christian education, caring staff, educated teachers, and a great support system.
