Fremont Christian School

I have 3 children that have been attending FCS for many years. The Elementary program has been very good academically and the staff is warm and friendly. The teachers are very capable and have taken interest in my children, especially when there has been some learning struggles (disabilities). Just this year, my child was behind in reading and he was able to participate in a program that has improved his reading dramatically. The Secondary campus is VERY academic and my kids have excelled in their courses. There are so many wonderful extracurricular offerings that my kids have to choose from. Needless to say, we are very busy with all the extra's. I love the sense of community at this school. I would like to see more parent involvement and perhaps a booster club or PTA being formed would help with that. The new athletic fields, high tech labs and secondary building are beautiful. It is nice to have great facilities so you can feel proud knowing your tuition dollars are going toward that. All in all, we are thrilled to have our children at FCS and plan to see them there all the way to High School graduations.

Fremont Christian has potential but is out of touch with the expectations of parents like us that pay good to send children to that school. For the most part, we have been happy with our children's elementary teachers but are frustrated and disappointed with both the junior high and high school. New superintendent does not seem open to hearing about the concerns of parents or willing to make necessary changes. Just rhetoric. Just got email that the elementary principal is stepping down and is being quickly replaced! This is weird. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING!?! She has done a great job in bringing the grade school together, and we benefit from the improved reading program! Our youngest child loves elementary. Our oldest wants to go to another high school. Thinking about switching schools because, as one parent put it, senior leadership has condescending tone. Parents like us are done. Where is the school board in all this? Wish I could be on it but I hear you have to attend the church over FCS. Giving school 2 stars since our youngest loves elementary.

Fremont Christian High School is not as competitive as other public or private schools. The school does not allow 9th graders and 10 graders take higher level classes and the high school counsel claims that the 9th and 10 graders are not ready for high level classes. My observation is that either 1) the school is not so good on academic, so the kids are behind; or 2) the school does not offer enough classes. If they let the 9th and 10th graders take the high level classes, the school won't have any more classes offered to the students in their Junior and Senior years. I have to say they offer a safe environmental for their students. Whether or not Fremont Christian High School is good for your kids' future. You make the call.

My child went to FCS for preschool and the teachers were great. Very warm and engaging. I can't say the same for Kindergarten. His teacher was very distant and didn't seem to enjoy teaching. Not just the teacher, but the school staff itself, I felt like they were running a military school rather than promoting an enjoyable learning experience for the children.

the school has a nice campus, however, we are disappointed by the laid back academic teaching - no homework twice per week or 5 minute homework, teacher made lot of errors on correcting the homework.. my son doesn't know how to do the math problems which our neigbor's same age kid who is in the public school - this made us shame on it as we paid big dollar to send him to a private school vs. the free public school. We had to trasnfer our sons to another school because we dont want them to be behind on academic learning (not mentioned yearly increased tuition at today's Economy)

Good school but I have been noticing a few odd changes with the new leadership.-School has become very clickish. Many family member working which seems to be conflict of interest. Tuition is steady rising in this bad economy. Teachers with great recommendations are let go then new ones are hired. Emails to parents have become very condescending from senior leadership. financial aid is taboo. No mention of it in the school pamplet until about 2 years ago when enrollment dropped. The only way you get a major part in a school play is if you parent works at the school. My son has attented this school for 10 years with e

Overall it is a good school, especially from preschool to Junior HS. The school is trying hard to be better on academic than what it is now. Note that it is not bad now but still has rooms for improvement. It is important to note that you should pick a school fits your kids need, not just pick a good school.

My child has been at FCS since pre school. I have been very happy with them working with the students as a whole person. Education is everything from English, Math and Science, to teaching the children Art Music and to be Kind. They have great teachers who really seem to enjoy their jobs, and truly care for our children. The teachers work great with the parents as a team to help create a exceptional learning environment. The children are truly happy and enjoy learning and with that they truly thrive. The only thing I will say is it is pretty expensive, but with that said its hard to put a price on education. As a parent you only get one chance to mold your young children. By far, despite hard times by Gods grace I have still found the means to keep my child at a school I am very proud to send her to. The best decision I ever made!!!

This is only my son's first year here and he's currently in 2nd grade but he loves it. His teacher really takes the time to know him and understand him. She doesn't brush his feelings aside like they did at public school. I really enjoy the volunteering and amazed at the amount of effort the teachers put into making the learning fun. There are several social events and school activities throughout the year. I saw one post that the teach turnover rate is high yet I've met several teachers who have been there for years. I've also met several parents who have multiple kids in the school that have been there for years. The preschool campus is nice and the teachers are considerate. The elementary campus is big and clean. The computer lab is up-to-date and the activity gym to also nice and clean. The library is average. The elementary office staff are very considerate and takes time to answer questions from parents as well as help students as needed. It's was amazing to come to a school where the kids learn to hold open doors and say "thank you". If you're looking for a school that really cares for your child academically and socially, this school is great.

I am very pleased with Fremont Christian School (FCS) . I really wanted a smaller academic environment for Jr. High thru High School and I feel I made the perfect choice with FCS. My son is very happy with his new friends and the teachers. The principle and staff have their students best interest at heart and I really appreciate their efforts in making FCS such a wonderful experience for my son.
