Elementary
At Faith Christian Academy we teach standard academic subjects as well as Christian values and beliefs. Our goal is to provide students with a well-rounded and enriching educational experience that teaches both the mind and the heart.
Character building is an essential part of the FCA experience. We emphasize positive character qualities while encouraging students to live out their faith in everyday actions. Through a Christ-centered approach, we aim to prepare students not only for academic success but also for a life of purpose, service, and integrity.
1. Curriculum and Academics
Students in the elementary program at Faith Christian Academy study core subjects including math, science, language arts, and social studies, alongside classes centered on the Bible. Faith is deeply woven into the learning experience at FCA, with Biblical principles and values integrated into the instruction of all subjects, extending beyond Biblical studies. Our academic programs are rigorous, and our exceptional teachers are available to support their students. The curriculum is designed to foster critical thinking and creativity, preparing students for lifelong learning and success.
2. Class Activities
Classroom activities are essential because they actively engage students in the learning process, helping to reinforce concepts and develop critical thinking skills. By involving students in a variety of hands-on and interactive experiences, these activities allow learners to apply what they have been taught in meaningful ways. Classroom activities include memory verse recitations, group projects, arts and crafts, science experiments, educational field trips and more. Together, these varied activities help reinforce what the students are learning and promote a well-rounded education that supports intellectual, social, and spiritual growth.
