About FCA

Who We Are

A community of families, teachers, and leaders shaping the next generation through Christ-centered education.

Our Mission

Training up the next generation in truth and excellence

First Christian Academy is dedicated to providing a premier academic foundation built upon the unchanging truths of Scripture. We partner with families to foster spiritual maturity and intellectual excellence in every student.

Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.

Proverbs 22:6

Our Approach

An education that shapes the whole student.

At FCA, we believe true education engages mind, heart, and spirit. Our classrooms cultivate strong academics through proven curriculum and engaged teachers, while every lesson is anchored in a biblical worldview that helps students see God's design at work in every subject.

We don't separate "school" from "faith." When a child studies the stars in science class or reads great literature, they are encountering the truth, beauty, and goodness of their Creator.

Three pillars on our crest

The shield in our logo represents the three relationships every child needs to flourish: the church that shapes their faith, the school that develops their gifts, and the family that loves them home.

Church

Faith is the soil from which everything grows. We hold that the Bible is true, Christ is Lord, and worship is at the center of a well-lived life.

School

We pursue academic excellence not for test scores, but because doing your best work honors the One who gave you the ability to do it.

Family

Parents are the primary disciplers of their children. We come alongside families in this shared work, never replacing them.

Our Christian Foundation

What we believe

  • The Authority of Scripture The Bible is the inspired, true, and authoritative Word of God, sufficient for instruction in every area of life and learning.
  • The Person of Christ Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God, fully divine and fully human, who lived, died, and rose again so that we might have life in Him.
  • The Worth of Every Child Every student is created in the image of God, worthy of love, attention, and the very best education we can offer them.
  • The Calling to Excellence "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord" (Colossians 3:23). Excellence in academics, character, and conduct is an act of worship.
