Faith Christian School is an inter-denominational Protestant Evangelical School commissioned to provide a high quality and affordable educational experience based on a Christ-centered curriculum, rooted in Scripture, and designed to reinforce the values and morals taught in the Christian home and church. Kindergarten through 10th Grade. Christian teachers demonstrate God's love through their commitment to students while encouraging excellence and touching hearts, both for this life and for eternity.
Since our school is an extension of the Christian home, and since our calling is to help Christian parents discipline their children, we feel we cannot effectively help children from non-Christian homes.
It is difficult for a child to integrate what he learns if his parents do not support what is taught at school. Therefore, at least one parent in the family must acknowledge Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Savior.
