PILLAR ONE

To Prepare Them

FOR THEIR FUTURE

At FOFCA, you will find rigorous curriculum through Abeka and IEW, intentionally small class sizes, daily Bible instruction, and a faculty committed to developing the whole student.

Elementary students receive PE, Spanish, art, and library, while Middle and High School Students also receive other elective offerings depending on their grade level to ensure a well-rounded education that genuinely prepares students for well-rounded success. 

THE FOUNDATION

To Inspire Their

FAITH & CHARACTER

Everything we do is grounded in the desire to see students mature in Christian faith and character. Daily Bible class, chapel, and service opportunities ensure we educate the heart as fully as the mind. Our Biblical worldview is woven through every subject and every interaction.

Volleyball, soccer, cheer, basketball, baseball, and more for boys and girls. Our coaches build athletic skill through healthy competition while instilling the lasting values of hard work, discipline, and sportsmanship that carry students well beyond any playing field.

PILLAR THREE

To Spark Their

CREATIVITY & CONFIDENCE

From art and music to Spanish and PE, every student has access to a broad range of electives that cultivate creativity, confidence, and a genuine love of learning. Our instructors draw out talents students often did not know they had.
