The Staff at FCS
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 is focused on providing your children a well-rounded education. One aspect is to provide quality specials (electives) that will enhance your child's learning! These special classes include Art, General Music, Chorus, Physical Education, Bible, and Chapel.
Our teachers' goals are threefold. The first is to provide a safe and nurturing environment where students can thrive. Secondly, they desire to give your students a strong education that will provide them with a foundation for being a lifelong learner. Lastly, but most importantly, they want your children to grow in their walk with God and have a deep, personal relationship with Him.
