Private Schools

June 2017 Update: My son just finished 4th grade (with Ms. Singleton) and my daughter just finished 1st grade (with Ms. Stevens). Both finished with "A" averages for the whole year. A result of good teachers, good learning environment, parents who help their kids with their homework and projects, and two kids who like school and who make an effort to do well. - Both participated in basketball and loved it. - Antonio participated in the huge school play. A very nice production. - Still teaching the old children's Bible songs. Love that! - Nice modest dress standard. Hope they keep that. Numerous other "christian" schools no longer do. - Older kids have good friendly relationships with the younger kids. This is apparently fostered by the school and makes for a very good school experience. - My kids are already enrolled for the 2017-2018 school year. - New school administrator coming in for 2017-2018 year. Mr. Hubbart did a fine job during his tenure. -------------------- 2016 Update: My little girl really enjoyed K5. 2 teachers for 20 children in her class. She learned a lot. Now on to 1st grade! My little boy did real well in 3rd grade with Mrs. Poole - "A" average! She does well with all kinds of children. 9-10 in the class. Mrs. Singleton will be his 4th grade teacher. She was his 1st grade teacher and she's good. --------------------- My son has been enrolled for first and second grades and my daughter is enrolled in K4. Both will be re-enrolled for the 2015 - 2016 school year. They both enjoy going to school very much and have done very well academically. Pros: (not necessarily in order) - Good learning environment - Children are well supervised - Still learn Bible verses and the old children's songs like Jesus Loves Me! - Neither of my children want to stay home from school. Because of bad teachers, problems with classmates, bullying, etc. some kids don't enjoy school. My children love going to PCS - Small class sizes - Tuition is reasonable - Children taught to love Jesus and respect others - Good behavior is expected of all the children - Teachers care for the children and are accessible to Parents - Though there is a sports program, the emphasis is on sportsmanship and having fun Cons: - Billing statements not easy to read - No option to have statements emailed

There aren’t many schools where you will find the amount of people who truly care about your child. I drive 45 mins just so my child can attend this school. I’ve read the negative reviews on here and it’s pretty surprising. No school is perfect but FCA is pretty great. We’ve been at FCA since kindergarten and have never had a problem that couldn’t be addressed and solved. Our family does not attend church with the staff or other parents and we are never treated differently. No teachers are guaranteed jobs. They are evaluated at the end of the year. We have great demographics and have never had an issue because it would not be tolerated. Everyone gets along as a family. My daughters closest friends are of different races. It’s a non-issue. The amount of time and effort each my child’s teachers have put in is pretty astounding. If your child needs extra help they will bend over backwards to help your child succeed. My daughter was diagnosed with Dyslexia based on the teachers observations and I thank GOD for them because they are the reason she’s is no longer struggling and has achieved honor roll. This school operates for your child to be ahead. She does lessons I clearly remember doing at a much higher grade level. If your child is well behaved and gives 100% in academics there is no reason they won’t succeed. That also starts at home. The only thing I would change is that parents should have mandatory volunteer hours. You always see the same families, it would be nice to have everyone invest in their child’s school. It would teach children to take ownership and pride in their school.

This school is a blessing to my children, my family and the community - Go Patriots!

My daughter works there and all I hear is very positive!

My kids have been going here for almost 5 years and they love it! And so do we as parents!

Very holy. Love the art inside this beautiful church.

This is my son’s 4th year at FCA. I can’t say enough good things about our experience here. The teachers go above and beyond for each child. They are challenged academically as well as learning Christian values and morals. My son is happy there as well. We love FCA!

They provide a top notch education to the children that never neglects the importance and need for Christ as the head of your life.

I myself graduated from St.Stephens and feel that I am truly academically prepared for highschool. Great for parents who want their kids to grow academically.

Very professional staff. 👍

We love it here! Join us for contemporary services on Saturday nights at 6pm!

I've been to First Baptist all my life and I've loved it, highly recommend 👍

This school has really added on in it's learning department, in the 5th-8th grade, each student gets a chromebook and they use it to learn. And the lower grades get iPads. The teachers also focus highly on the students future.

We are so proud and happy to be a part of this school. Staff is amazing, my daughter LOVES it here, and I am thrilled she is learning and thriving at a pace that works for her. So glad we found FTLOL!!

My daughter has been going to kidzone preschool academy for almost a year when she first started she was none socialable with other kids but that has completely changed and I thank Kidzone for that the staff is amazing my daughter looks forwards everyday going to daycare to be with her friends she loves the funzone train rides and out door play IF YOUR LOOKING FOR A DAYCARE KIDZONE IS THE PLACE TO BE EVERYDAY IS A NEW DAY FOR YOUR CHILD
