FCS is an excellent school. Academically, the school is top notch. It is a lot of homework and stress for the younger children, none the less a good challenge. There are no breaks, minimal lunch time, no social time to enjoy their childhood, build friendships. There are no play grounds for the children outside. Emotional well being of the children is not being considered. After covid its even more difficult. I love the school and super blessed that my kids can attend. we are just making up the social and emotional support outside of the school. Some of the teachers are really great. Some overly strict. I see teachers that are not there to make impact and influence but old fashion strict. Onboarding new students and families needs a little help. It was difficult to figure out schedule, prepare the children with homework and tests. Some things are updated on Jupiter, some not. Very inconsistent between grades. It been tough. We are hanging in there.
I like the atmosphere of this school very much. Both the teachers and officers are very enthusiastic. They will help me with patient if I encounter any problem in study or life. The type of courses is also very rich, which can meet my various needs. The classroom environment is very good, the number of students in one class is not much, therefore the teacher can take care of each student's learning state. We also have some self-selected activities, which enriches my free time and gives me a chance to study and perform.
A very physically appealing and well located school. The work is advanced in the sense they are ahead of the public schools but this is primarily accomplished with copious amounts of homework. The High School is top notch and a prep-school (for college), however, the lower school (elementary) is not impressive at all. It is very obvious the administration is heavily focused on the upper years and the lower years suffer as a result. There are no breaks, limited lunchtime and tons of homework for such young kids. The clubs are few for younger years (again better in upper). Bible is mandatory but otherwise relatively moderate. Communication overall is average so you have to be engaged. Most teachers are very good but a few are overly strict. In closing, If you have younger children I would highly recommend waiting until they reach middle school or higher before coming here. If you have upper year school children then you have a great prep-school waiting.
