  • Excellent recommendations from partnering Christian Schools in Tucson. From Dr. Eric Abrams at Pusch Ridge Christian Academy, "We are blessed to have Faith Community as a partner in Christian education and a valuable feeder school. Students from FCA are "stand outs" who are academically strong and spiritually mature. They have assumed valuable leadership roles at our school as chaplains, student council members, team captains and Scouts. We are grateful to Faith Community for teaching these students to give glory to God in all aspects of their lives." Parents appreciate FCA: "Our son attended preschool at FCA and he was very prepared for Kindergarten! He learned great social skills, developed respect for his teacher, and was provided with new challenges in so many ares. He is a successful little learner!" Former students appreciate FCA: "Attending FCA gave me the spiritual and academic preparation for my high school years. The thing that stood out the most was the personal attention that still has not stopped. The staff and teachers at Faith welcome you with open arms and really make sure you are a part of their family."
