Academics

As a parent, you recognize that a school’s curriculum is as important to your child’s success as the 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.

Fredericksburg Christian School is a private Christian college preparatory school in Fredericksburg, Virginia, serving students in grades pre-K through 12. Our curriculum is academically advanced and fully integrated with Biblical truths. FCS provides students with a Christian worldview they will carry with them throughout college and into their careers.

Curriculum Guides are available for Pre-K3, Pre-K4, and K through 8th grade.
An Academic Handbook is available for grades 9 through 12.

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 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.

Incorporating the Tools of Their Generation

Technology is introduced early on at FCS, and  students are taught how to use it responsibly. At the Lower School, classrooms have a device for every student to assist in age appropriate education during school hours. Starting in grade 6, students have their own iPad for supplemental learning and instruction that can be used both in the classroom and at home.

Tailored College and Career Guidance

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.
