First Assembly Christian School

As a Graduate of FACS, I recommend this school for any student (PreK-12) regardless of previous educational backgrounds. I graduated 5 years ago, and have noticed the recent increase in student enrollment, which is of no surprise to me as FACS continues to excel in providing a well-rounded Education and Above-Average preparation for life after graduation. - Satisfied Alumnus

I Love working here! I've been here twelve years. It has been a great experience.

I am so enjoying working at FACS. The teachers really care about the students. They help every child (not just the smart or easy to teach kids). The academically smarter kids are challenged without losing focus on the other students. Every student is important. With all of the hardships that students face today at home, it is nice to work in a school that really cares and takes time to listen and help every student.

FACS is a school that does not challenge your student academically. Your student would come home without any homework every night. They are known as the school that gets out when it rains! This is because they have had eight snow days this year. They get out of school if MCS or SCS are out, and they aren't making up any of the eight days they missed! If you want a truly challenging education for your child, look somewhere else. There are plenty of better private schools in Memphis.

I think the school most definitely has their priorities in order! God is our creator, God is in and throughout every class at school. You know what they say... the Light shines from the top down. The Head Master exudes Christ in everything he does and says... and so does the school.

This is our first year at FACS. I have 2 sons in elementary and am very pleased with the teachers. I moved my kids from another private school and was not pleased at the lack of education that they had received from this more expensive school. FACS is really a great elementary school for our children. The teachers are so approachable, listen, happy, and love my boys. The Christ centered atmosphere is so nice. The school is growing and I am excited to see the strides that this school will take in the future. The coaches are also the best. It's nice to actually see coaches at a Christian school with Bibles in their hands.

I have 3 daughters. One was Valedictorian, one was in resource from 5th grade on, and the other is in honors classes. There was something available for all my children at FACS. Resource classes, honor and AP classes for the others.

All of the staff at the school are very nice and gracious, but to a fault. They are people pleasers and those with money are the ones they want to please the most. Over the past couple of years, FACS has not been able to keep new teachers as the administrative staff does not support them in their endeavors to teach. They claim to be a college prepatory school, but shun challenging the students. Your child will succeed here, only because the academics are sub-par. There are a few good teachers, but they are close to retirement. The future of this school does not look very bright. Please do not send your children here!!

It is very fun and you can easily make alot of friends . But most of the kids know when to calm down after or before an activity.I would recomend it as the best school in Tennessee , but also to any parent looking for a school for there child.

I sent my son here after two terrible private school experiences. He hated school. He had fallen behind and struggles with ADHD. He would make up every reason in the book NOT to go to school. FACS has changed this. He is excited about school for the first time ever. He loves the EXTRA program and the music programs he has been able to be a part of. The staff is caring and loves the students. As with all schools they have their problems, but you can not please everyone 100% of the time. I would recommend FACS.
