Reviews about Foundations Christian School
Here’s what some of our families have to say about Foundations Christian School:
Caring, loving teachers, a family like atmosphere, a great curriculum, small class sizes. Some can get busing provided by the school districts.
- Holley
My son started at foundations 8 years ago and it has been a blessing. The small class sizes and family atmosphere were exactly what my son needed to thrive!! I have since sent 3 other children there and watched them learn and bloom into great students. I highly recommend this school!!

What to Expect When You Chose FCS
If you’re new to sending your kids to a Christian school, no worries! We’re confident that your entire family will love the experience. Here’s some of what you can expect.
- Chapel Services - At FCS, we hold chapel services twice a week, and students attend once, depending on their age group. Your children will love being active participants in our chapel services. We sing praise and worship songs together, have special speakers, and quite often, our students even have the opportunity to lead.
- A Family Focus (Minimal Homework) - We believe that a balanced education is a solid education. Your kids will work hard in school all day long, and when they go home, we want them to rest, play, and enjoy being kids. Our goal is never to load our students up with homework. We’ll do our very best to ensure their classwork is just that - classwork.
- A Loving and Encouraging Atmosphere - Studies have shown that students who receive encouraging words from their teachers are significantly more likely to continue in their education past the age of 16. If you’ve been looking for a positive environment for your kids to attend school, you’ll find it at Foundations Christian School. We truly function more like a big family. Our students love to help each other be successful, and our teachers enjoy using positive reinforcement and encouraging words to teach their classes.
