We love Family Christian Academy! If you are concerned about what your children are being taught in public school then Family Christian Academy is the place for you. Family Christian Academy provides quality education in a safe structured learning environment with small classroom sizes. I love that the students have chapel every morning, and my 10-year-old knows every Christian song on the radio. Family Christian Academy also offers Karate as part of the curriculum.
