Our child went to 3k and 4k at FCA and we adored the teachers and staff. We struggled with moving our child to public school for Kindergarten but the tution was more than we could afford for the long term and we did not want to move her in and out of schools. If not for tution we would continue to attend FCA. I would recommend!

My children have attended FCA for many years. Although the tuition is fair compared to most places, it has been a financial struggle for my family. If there's one thing I could say about this school, they love the children. I have seen the principal sitting in the sick room caring for an ill child. Every teacher we have had has bent over backwards to help my children. I know that everyone is busy but they still always take time to make me feel welcome in the school. We will make the financial sacriice for as long as we are able. They do accept Step Up Scholarship now but that wasn't an option when we enrolled.

I have have had 2 children here. One is in her 3rd year and the other was there for 4 years. Overall I have been happy. I agree with another comment about the office staff mostly being unfriendly though.

Most of the teachers at FCA are caring and loving. Administration stuff are less friendly. School campus and buildings are nice and clean. Academy level are average at the best, ask about their SAT scores, then you'll have an idea. Not much home work for most of the classes. Tuition is reasonable.

My children and I absolutely loved FCA. I was an aide and a teacher there, so I got to see things from "both sides of the fence". My children have attended 4 other schools from our various moves and FCA exceeds them all. The class sizes are great and the teachers and staff do an outstanding job. The best thing about FCA is that God is at the center of school! By attending FCA, your children will grow both academically and spiritually.

We have had our child at FCA for 2 years now, 3K and 4K. Absolutely nothing bad to say about this school and the teachers. The numbers in the classroom are small and the teachers are very hands on! We are always greeted with a smile, and our child is excited to go everyday! It is a private school, so obviously, not free. I wish it were though, because we would continue there! Super clean, challanging for students, and personal attention. The best thing, God is allowed and encouraged!

Do your homework before enrolling your kindergarten student in this school. Check the credentials of the teacher, sit in on a class for a day ask for a list of the class rules, what the discipline policies are and the forms of discipline.

I just started my daughter here and already we both love it. It's nice, clean, staff are very helpful, curteous, and nice. I like the fact that they also offer spanish as well as the usual PE, art, and music. I believe that the kids will get a better educcation from a school who likes to have involved parents rather than a school that doesn't care to encourage it. I also like the fact that my daughter will be learning more about God and the bible. I believe that is very important as well. All in all, I believe that FCA is worth it!

I switched my daughter to FCA in the middle of the school year last year. I went to the school for a tour just out of curiosity. By the time I left the tour, I knew that was the best place for her to be. The principal and teachers were amazing! The small class size is ideal and the education is above average. Let's not forget about the positive christian enviroment. My daughter cannot wait for school to start. What a great feeling!

Everything about this school is TOP NOTCH. Here, you do not have to worry about what your child is exposed to at school. The teachers are top notch, and the same curriculum is used that other schools charge 3x the tuition.
