Education With Eternity In Mind

A word from our administrator...

Dear Friends,

      Having worked with FCS for over 30 years, I am often reminded of the biblical truth that "Children are a heritage of the Lord" (Psalm 127:3). That passage reminds me of the fact that our children, and our children's children, become a heritage which is passed down from generation to generation. What our children learn today, is passed down to their children. What we do today, lasts for years!

      That is why the educational experience is so important. Almost one-fourth of a child's life is spent in an educational institution. What he or she is taught and what each child comes to understand and believe will not only impact his or her life, but the lives of children from generation to generation.

      Faith Christian School offers an alternative to state education because we believe that a Christian education offers something more than academics. We desire, not only to prepare children to earn a living, but to teach them how to live in God's world successfully.

      We have prepared this viewbook for parents who are looking for a Christian alternative. I hope that it gives you a general view of what FCS is all about. If you desire further information, or if I can help in any way, please feel free to contact me. I would be delighted to sit down with you and discuss any facet of our program.

      We know each other....

All Because of Calvary,
Ted Martens, Ph.D.
Administrator

The purpose of Faith Christian School...

Affordable

One of the primary purposes of Faith Christian School is to offer an alternative to state education. When it comes to educating children, we believe that there should be an alternative, a Christian alternative, which is a financially and academically true alternative to parents.

Alternative

If Christian education is to be a true alternative it must be affordable. A Christian education is not a true alternative if the cost of such an education is out of the reach of parents who are seeking something better for their children. Faith Christian School has always sought to keep the cost of a Christian education financially reachable. Therefore, the total cost of attending FCS is the most inexpensive throughout the Trenton area!

Academic

Without quality in an educational program, a private Christian education is not an actual alternative. Faith Christian School does not sacrifice the academic future of a child to provide an alternative. Our yearly test scores support the fact that we seek to and do provide an educational experience that is equal to and above the educational experience found elsewhere.

Transportation

Transportation for students in K-8th grade is provided by the various townships and cities surrounding our school. Parents must bring their children to school if the township or city does not provide bus service. In almost all cases, your township or city will reimburse you for transporting your child to school if they are not able to provide bus transportation. Therefore, whether you would rather bring your child or not, it is to your benefit to fill out and return the appropriate transportation form.

Admissions

Faith Christian School welcomes applications for all students for grades Pre-School (Ages 3 and 4), and kindergarten through eighth grade, regardless of race, religion, nationality, or religious affiliation. A parent may enroll his/her child by sending a completed application form along with the registration, book fees and activity fees.

Dress

Our desire is to promote a standard of dress that maintains the distinction between the sexes and does not promote competition in dressing styles and fads. All of our students at Faith Christian Schools, in K-8, wear the established uniforms.
