Academics
Academics at FCS
We are dedicated to providing your child with an excellent education for them to reach the goals, dreams, and potential God has before them. We do this through a challenging curriculum, an enrichment program, STEAM program, Phonics & Reading (AR), 4C’s: Creativity, Collaboration, Critical Thinking, Communication. We also have advanced grouping in each grade level.
Socially: Students who have a strong community of support always outperform those that are not given the opportunity. This intangible is of our highest priority. We are more than just a school. We are a family. Your child will grow in a family-oriented environment with loving support.
Physically: Physical Education is not only important for the health of our students but also for their academic achievement. Students who are healthy and have the ability to exert their natural energy are able to focus more on their classwork and perform better. PE, recess, healthy options for lunch in the cafeteria, after school activities that promote health and fitness are all part of our student’s school day.
Faith. Character. Success.
While helping our students grow in their faith and character is paramount, we do not foster those pillars at the expense of academic success. In fact, we believe that excellence should be the mark of every Christian. We understand that doing things with excellence not only allows us to honor God with our abilities, but it creates a pathway to success that provides a platform from which we can influence our world for Him. At Florida Christian, we give our students every opportunity to be successful in college and beyond.
The academic objectives of the school are clearly designed and delineated in the school’s academic manual and administered by the faculty and administration. Clearly defined goals and objectives for each class and textbooks are provided, as well as an appropriate scope and sequence of each discipline within the curriculum.
The faculty and staff of the school, working together through the departments and grades and with school administrators, continue to provide a classroom experience where the academic goals, in close relationship to the stated objectives and the practical application of each goal, are delineated.
The academic curriculum is developed in light of the ministry objectives of the school, as each faculty member seeks to teach specific Biblical truth in each lesson through Biblical integration and daily planning.
Going Beyond
Many of our students choose to explore a field of study beyond the general college prep curriculum. Beginning in elementary school, students can dive into STEAM education and engineering or take on the challenge of the elite Patriot STARS Program. In middle school, future engineers can work with robotics and top academics can earn up to six high school credits. By the time they reach high school, students can explore our Patriot Pathways where they can gain knowledge and skills toward a future career. Our top academics may qualify for the prestigious Patriot Scholars Program, preparing them for the nation’s top university programs. For more details, check out the distinctive programs below.
