FCA Core Values and Beliefs

• Passion for Christ and for Life – FCA strives to instill a love of Christ and desire to serve Him in each student by example, by involvement, and by teaching. Moral character and integrity are qualities that are lifted up and rewarded
• Respect for the Individual Learner – We teach students, not subjects. Each student is an individual with unique gifts, talents and abilities. We want students to progress to their highest potential. We want each student to feel valued and accepted for who they are.
• College Preparatory Academics – Our desire is to mold our students into life-long learners by providing challenging and college preparatory academics through interactive and experiential learning
• Integrated Christian Curriculum Worldview – Scripture and God himself are relevant to every subject. We cannot look at Science, History, Literature or Math without seeing the hand and nature of our creator. We acknowledge this and guide our students to discover God’s foundational truths for each subject.
• Fine Arts – Fine arts are a vital part of the education process and success in life whether in visual Art, Music, Drama, or Graphic Design.
• Personal and Community Development – We seek to show our students who God is and who they are by exploring their gifts and strengths and seeing how they fit into God’s purposes for the world.

• Economic, Racial and Social Diversity – FCA actively seeks to be a racially, economically, and socially diverse community meeting a variety of academic needs.
• Student Servant Leadership – Students are actively encouraged to pursue a Christ-like servant-leadership role with their peers. FCA rewards this quality with an annual ‘Servant Leader’ award for each grade.
