FCS is an excellent school where are kids can excel in so many ways. It doesn't end at just academics, but the opportunities for sports, leadership development, and spiritual development ensure our kids are well-rounded. Our kids enjoy being at the school with the teachers who care for them like family. Having so many families that are seeking the best for their kids as well makes the school a very inviting environment. I would highly recommend FCS to any family seeking a safe environment that provides an excellent education.

I went to FCS in elementary school. I have a daughter who graduated from FCS two years ago, she is now thriving at USC. I have a son currently enrolled at Florence Christian. My children have served in student government including the SCISSA board. My daughter enjoyed cheering throughout high school. My son participated in the music program in previous years. He currently plays football and basketball, and he attends every game that he can of the other sports. He loves FCS and I love the fact that the school prioritizes knowing Jesus, the Bible, and Christlike character above everything else. I appreciate the friendships he has formed in his time at FCS and the mentorship that he receives from his teachers and coaches. I have been very pleased with the decision to entrust my children to the leadership of FCS/FBT.

Such an awesome alternative to public school! My youngest has been at FCS since 3k, and is now in 2nd grade! She has loved all her teachers and has learned so much in a safe Christian atmosphere! I didn't feel safe with my oldest child in public school anymore, so I switched him in 6th grade! Best decision we ever made for him hands down. He's now got a really nice group of guy friends, he's using textbooks, has a harder curriculum in school, and more one on one attention with a teacher who is teaching from the front of the classroom. He's playing B-team baseball and loving every minute! When he's not in school he wants to be attending the sporting events at FCS! The school has such a community feel. You really are joining a family when you send your child to FCS! It is reconfirmed daily FCS is the best place for our children! -Parent of 2nd and 6th graders.

My daughter currently attends this school. She loves school and learning so much. She has plenty of room to grow intellectually, spiritually, emotionally, and in maturity here. This is a very safe place without bullying. The education is self-paced and great. Even more importantly, I've seen her attitude, politeness, and gratefulness increase exponentially since she started here. This is a genuine Christian environment, full of teachers who love these children and are trustworthy guides. They do outside school activities on Fridays for the kids. I'm excited to send all 4 of my kids here and to watch the school continue to grow! The faculty is very motivated to improve and increase the resources available to students and parents.

My wife and I have been very pleased with our decision to send our son to Florence Christian School. He has been challenged in his schoolwork and has done well in his classes. The staff, teachers, and coaches were all very friendly and welcomed him with open arms. I would encourage anyone thinking of sending their child(ren) to a private school in town, to schedule a tour of FCS. It's been a great experience for us and I can't recommend it enough to others.

We have 3 children enrolled at Florence Christian School. Our oldest is a junior and has been enrolled since 4k. Our children have been given a chance to excel academically and be challenged as a part of sports teams. My children have been able to be involved in Student Government within the school and for SCISA, participate in Literary Meets, and Spelling Bees, earn College Credits, and perform at the State Championship level in sports. Our children are given a safe place to grow both academically and spiritually.

Our family loves FCS! I am an alumna and my three children have all received a quality education at Florence Christian. The teachers not only do an excellent job of providing rigorous academic instruction, but they also strive to build relationships with their students. They genuinely care about the spiritual life of each student who attends. There are plenty of opportunities for students to be involved... from athletics to fine arts to student government, all the programs are top-notch. Florence Christian strives for excellence in all they do! Anyone looking for a Biblically sound, academically challenging, well-rounded program with beautiful, clean facilities and a caring staff should check out Florence Christian School!

We love FCS and wouldn't want our son to be anywhere else! He has been challenged inside and outside of the classroom. He is learning valuable time management skills and lessons being a student-athlete. FCS has also given him the opportunity to serve and lead others by participating in Student Government. FCS is helping us mold him into a well-rounded Christian young man that we are very proud of!

My son is a senior at Florence Christian School (FCS) and has attended the school since 4K. We initially learned about FCS because we had a family that attended Florence Christian School and we were impressed with what we saw. We wanted our son to have an excellent education while being in a Christian environment. We also liked the fact that the school is large enough for sports teams and class sizes sufficient that kids learn social skills. We have been delighted with our experience throughout our son's time at Florence Christian School. We are impressed with the education he received and feel that the school has prepared him well for college and life. We are also pleased with the values that the school has instilled and reinforced. We cannot say enough good things about the school, and we highly recommend Florence Christian School.

FCS maintains a strong academic curriculum that incorporates Christian values. High school students take AP Biology, Calculus, or enroll in dual credit classes. They encourage all students to take part in extracurricular activities. The sports program is defined by hard work and Christian character. I can not say enough about the positive environment at FCS. Just schedule a tour and check it out.

My husband was in the first graduating class at FCS and our two children are both alumni. Through the years we have seen the school grow and develop into a place where children are educated to develop a biblical worldview as well as critical thinking skills. The school strives to support families from preschool through high school. The cost compared to other institutions is reasonable and the family atmosphere is very inviting. The school has a sports program for both male and female, fine arts and additional activities.
