Overview
Faith Christian School is a Christ-Centered, College Preparatory School (Pre-K-12th) focused on loving God and loving others through five primary areas: Spiritual Life, Academics, Athletics, Fine Arts, and Leadership.
From our rigorous academic and extra-curricular programs, FCS students are involved in our GO Initiative: Global Perspective and a Gospel Focus. Our quality academics, programs, and faculty contribute to the growth and development of our students.
Simply stated, FCS helps produce leaders grounded in the unchanging truth of Jesus Christ in an ever changing world.
