FCA has proven to be a good school with caring, intelligent and thought provoking teachers. With solid administration receiving strong support from the church, the environment is one where kids are free to learn in a safe, Christian atmosphere. They have a good athletic program which will hopefully expand to include more more soon and a very strong arts and music program. It is a great value for the money.

FCA has been through many changes over the last couple of years (growing pains). This said, the teachers and the church elders have remained to support their students and one of their most adored teachers will be a great principal/counselor for this aspiring school. The students have respect and love for their teachers. The teachers have worked hard to implement the best curriculum for their students which has pushed the students past public school test scores. The 'arts' have been a wonderful asset to the school, the music and dance teachers are talented and put on quite the show. If your thinking about FCA, I suggest that you talk to Ms. Cantrell (K teacher), who has been there the longest and can tell you first hand of the growth of the school and why being at FCA is so important to her to which has made her another beloved teacher.

My experiences with the academy thus far have been wonderful. I am pleased with the passion the teachers and Mr. Ross have for the school. My daughter is a happy and proud student who takes comfort in knowing that she can openly discuss and turn to her faith while at school. I hope to see the school embrace a bit more creativity w/in the classroom (not just in electives) and I would also like to see the Academy/Preschool classrooms be seperate from Sunday School rooms. These, however, are just minor issues when considering how great the strengths of this school are.

Mr. Ross has certainly made a huge improvement in the quality of this school. I give him a 100% rating in his fair, but swift & strict disciplinary actions.

My child has attended FCA for five years. I have met parents of several former students who transitioned to public schools (for financial reasons) and all but one said their child was ahead of those kids when they started. The other child had a learning difference and was struggling in public school as well. I'm very happy with FCA. I send my child there to reinforce eternal lessons that I cannot trust the public schools to teach. Of course he learns all of the required subjects as well. With smaller class size, great teachers and a committed principal and staff, this school has been a wonderful experience. And the new high school will make a transition unneeded. I'm sorry one parent was unhappy with their experience. The issues they raised are found elsewhere too. The good of this school far outweighs any negative I can think of!

Both of my children go to FCA; one has been there for 6 years now, the other 2 years. Both love it and have grown in their knowledge/love of Christ and that is so worth everything. I had a hard time when my youngest was in Kindergarten, deciding if private school was the right way to go. One day after school his teacher came out to the car and told me that my son had asked the class to pray for his Aunt (she was suffering w/ cancer) and she wanted me to know that they would keep her in their prayers...that was when I knew we were exactly where we needed to be! Educationally, there have been challenges for us w/ my oldest because he is smarter than the average bear. We are trying to help him in this area.
