The Staff at FCS

Some of our staff at the annual 50's Fundraiser!

Welcome to the staff page at Foundations Christian School! We are excited that you have taken the time to visit and get to know our staff and their hearts for your children!

Foundations Christian School (FCS) is focused on providing your children a well rounded education. One aspect is to provide quality specials (electives) that will enhance the learning of your child! These specials classes include Art, General Music, Chorus, Physical Education, Home Economics, Bible, and Chapel.

The goals of our teachers are three fold. First, is to provide a safe and nurturing environment where they can thrive. Secondly, they desire to give your students a strong education that will provide them with a foundation for being a life long learner. Lastly, but most importantly, they want your children to grow in their walk with God and have a deep, personal relationship with Him.
