School Notes

FCS stresses:

Individualization - Each student works at his or her own pace.
Academic Excellence - Each student annually takes the nationally recognized Iowa Achievement Test. FCS works hard to bring below grade average students to grade level and allows the above average student to soar.
Character Building - Discipleship is the #1 priority of FCS. We strive to teach students what it means to walk in relationship with God on a daily basis. We believe in Jesus, the only begotten Son of God, sacrificed through crucifixion for all who trust in Him, dead, buried, and risen again. We believe in the empowering of the Holy Spirit in a believer's life.
Traditional Values - Biblical values are traditional values.
