I cannot say enough great things about First Christian. We have 2 children enrolled in very different classes. One is a group of tightly clustered students of similar learning styles who have been able to go farther and deeper in their studies due to the class size and Teacher dedication. The other group is diverse in both temperament and ability. The same class size and excellence in teaching allowed this group to not simply cover the required material but to have the needs of each individual met and accommodated. In this case there were 5 different Math programs being taught in a single class. This sense of Excellence and Dedication continues into the school's embracing of sports, extracurriculars and an uncompromising commitment to strong character. This is easily the most complete elementary education being offered in The Napa Valley. While we wish we could find this in the public schools, we can't and this has certainly been worth the expense.
I am so thankful that I have FCS for my children. My daughter started FCS when it opened in 1998. She attended K-8 and and transitioned easily into honors classes at a local public highschool. My son is now in the 4th grade and is excelling! I love the fact that we have small class sizes too. No matter what level your child is at acidemically they get one on one attention. No falling through the cracks here. The kids love the Art, Technology and Foreign Language classes that they are in. We are a small but growing school with a very helpful and caring "family" environment. The leadership surpasses all! Would recommend to anyone.
First Christian School teaches more than just the basics. Wrapped into an excellerated academic curriculum is character building and knowledge about God and His word. I put my children into this school for the education. I wasn't a follower of Christ, but in the seven years my children have attended both the pre-school and elementary school, I have seen the light and given my life to Christ. You don't have to be a Christ follower to give your child the best education possible in the Napa Valley. With the lowest private school tuition in the valley plus the smallest maximum class size, how can you NOT afford to put your kids in this school?
We could not be happier with FCS. They focus on high academic standards but in a stimulating and nurturing environment. They can accomodate students with learning differences. I am most impressed with the character building - the children are so happy and polite. The middle schoolers are so respectful and truly look out for the younger students. I would highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a Christian-based education. There are so many reasons why this school is growing so fast.
