As a parent, you recognize that a school’s curriculum is as important to your child’s success as the school culture and community. You want to be sure they are adequately challenged, but also want to know that they have access to their teachers, feel comfortable asking questions, and experience high expectations and Christian values in the classroom.
Our curriculum is academically advanced and fully integrated with Biblical truths. FCS provides students with a Biblical worldview they will carry with them throughout college and into their careers.
In our Lower School, we use a variety of Biblically-based curriculum programs to include, but not limited to: Abeka, Purposeful Design, Shirley English, and Bob Jones. Each year, our Curriculum team evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of these curriculum programs as well as the needs of our students, and develops an in-house curriculum that combines multiple resources to create the highest quality educational program possible. For specific information about course offerings, learning objectives, and graduation requirements for the Upper School, please review our Academic Handbook.
Class Sizes That Work
An average class size of 20 students allows for more individual attention, and some classes are much smaller. Our dedicated teachers are able to take the time to really know and help their students.
Hands-On Learning
Students learn best by doing. We keep them engaged with hands-on activities, small group projects, field trips, and creative collaboration inside and outside the classroom.
Technology As A Tool
In the Lower School, classrooms have a device for each student to assist in age appropriate education during school hours. Starting in 6th Grade, students have their own iPad for supplemental learning and instruction that can be used both in the classroom and at home.

Our dedicated guidance department helps shepherd students not only toward what’s next, but also what’s the best fit for them. More than 95% of Fredericksburg Christian graduates go on to college.
