Is
FCS affiliated with a particular Christian denomination?
Faith Christian has no
official affiliation with any Christian denomination. Faculty
and students come from a wide range of Christian
denominations. Thus, at FCS, we emphasize the essential
teachings of Christianity that all denominations have in common, and we
recognize that Christians can lovingly disagree over the non-essential
issues that separate us into denominations. A more detailed
explanation this approach is available in our student handbook.
How
much are the fees and tuition?
Our registration and tuition
fees are based on the grade level of the student.

How
do I register my child at Faith Christian?
The first step is to contact
the school and obtain an application form. After the school
receives the completed application, the parents will be contacted for
an interview with the admissions committee. After the interview, the
school will contact the parents, informing them of the decision on the
application.
What
are the admission requirements?
In a parent interview, at
least one parent will profess Christ as Lord and Savior. In the event
that the parents do not believe, the student will profess Christ and
present a written testimony. In a student interview, the student will
express a desire to attend Faith Christian School.
In keeping with its goal of maintaining a drug-free campus, FCS will
not accept any student who has been expelled from another school for
drug reasons unless that student has undergone a successful drug
treatment program for the duration of at least three months.
Student candidates with a history of behavioral disorders will be
considered carefully, and with their parents, will be required to
appear before the admissions committee. Students admitted
under these circumstances will serve a probationary period of no less
than one semester, and are expected to maintain exemplary behavior.
All students and parents will be required to sign the FCS
Student/Parent Honor Code.
Is
there a dress code? Are students expected to wear uniforms?
Our students do not wear
uniforms. But we do expect our students to exercise wisdom in their
choices of attire for school days and school functions -- and we rely
heavily upon the discretion and loving cooperation of
parents. Modesty, cleanliness, neatness, and school
appropriateness is the spirit of the code. Our student
handbook addresses the dress code more specifically for both male and
female students.
How
do you handle discipline?
Students at FCS are expected
to maintain exemplary behavior befitting Christian young people at all
times. The "Rules of Conduct" are clearly spelled out in our student
handbook, and both students and parents must read and sign a copy of
those rules.
We do not seek to assume a task which God gives to parents -- but we
emphasize the student's personal responsibility for his/her actions,
and we use Scripture as our guide for acceptable behavior.
On a more practical level, the school has instituted a "discipline
ladder" for handling disciplinary problems. The first level
of corrective action, in most cases, involves detention, during which
the student is required to complete a writing assignment and/or campus
clean up. Levels further up the ladder include in-school
suspension, out-of-school suspension, and expulsion.
