School Reviews

My 5 grandsons started going here in the year of 2021 with one graduating last year. It has changed their lives!!I cannot say enough about what they do. Having a teacher stop and pray over a student is huge. They have grown academically and spiritually. (I am not a parent, but a grandparent)

The school is growing by leaps and bounds because of the great programs offered. The school now has 123 students and offers Spanish, Art, Music and has Sports Teams in conjunction with another local school. The school has a library with more than 2,600 books. My daughter just finished two weeks of Fencing in P.E. She loved it. Check it out for yourself.

We have been coming to the school since 2009. We have 4 children enrolled at FCCS. We LOVE this school. I love the how the teachers take many opportunities to help and teach the children. We feel very much at home and a sense of family in this school.

My family and I love FCCS. Our kids have all gone there, two have graduated from the school and our youngest is in the 6th grade there. The Administration and the Teachers love to partner with each family, discover each students needs and provide a high quality Christian education. I would highly recommend this school!
