School Reviews
5 3/8/2024
My son started attending Family Christian Academy (FCA) during the Fall of 2022. I saw right away the difference between a large classroom setting and FCA's. Their academic program with its hands-on and fun learning environment, plus it's compassionate teachers willing to help each student individually, made me decide to transfer all my children to FCA. Today 2024, all of my 3 kids (1 High School in soccer and cross country team, 1 Middle School in soccer, and 1 Elementary School in thespian) are thriving in school and I have no regret switching them to FCA.
