"FACS has been a breath of fresh air & God send since the day we toured the school & the complete opposite of the private school we transferred from. I have one child transferring in as a senior & another as a sophomore. Parents, Students, Faculty, everyone has been so welcoming & helpful. No one could ask for a better beginning to a new school than what FACS has exhibited. Expectations are clearly laid out from day 1. EMPHASIS is put on a Christian education & getting the student ready for college & life. There are weekly Christian assemblies & students are encouraged to express themselves. Serious preparation on ACT & college starts as a freshman. College credits can be achieved in HS in multiple classes so you can enter college as a sophomore! Music, Arts & Athletics are treated as a strong companion to a Christian education to achieve their very best & create a well rounded student. This is a HS & education that every child deserves to succeed! &, at half the price of most others!" -FACS Parent Review (Niche.com)
