Create a Legacy of Faith-Based Learning
You’ve seen the difference a Christian education makes.
- The growth in faith and in biblical understanding.
- The desire to live a life of integrity and service.
- The thorough preparation for college, career, and life.
At Fredericksburg Christian School, we want students throughout the Fredericksburg region to have access to that kind of life-changing education for today — and for generations to come.
That’s why we need dedicated people like you to give today. We use your gifts, plus donations from our fundraising events, for things like adding innovative STEM courses, expanding classrooms, building a state-of-the-art athletics complex, hiring talented faculty and staff, offering tuition assistance, and welcoming more students.
With your gift, you’ll ensure that Fredericksburg Christian School always remains a leader in private education and that children have the chance to experience God’s love in action.
Give Where Your Gift Matters Most
When you make a tax-deductible donation to Fredericksburg Christian School, you get to choose what you and your family would most like to support. Maybe you feel led to provide scholarships to students who need a high-quality Christian education but can’t afford full tuition. Or maybe you are a family that really values the fine arts.
Whatever your interests, our Development Team can work with you to find the right match between the school’s needs and what’s meaningful to you.
The Eagle Excellence Annual Fund takes donations and directs them to the school’s areas of highest need. Often, these gifts help hire new faculty, offer classes that are in step with the latest technology, and keep the campus modern and welcoming.
