Fellowship Christian School seeks to prepare all of its students for the path God is leading them down. In order to equip all students, several courses are offered to both Middle & High School (6th-12th Grade). Class sizes have a goal of no more than 15:1, in order to keep learning focused on individual student needs as well as give teachers time to jump deeper into each teaching. Some elective classes (such as P.E.) are larger, at times. Students are tested for math and English placement, to help place students where they will best excel as well as to help students gain confidence and necessary foundations to truly understand the material and teachings they are being presented with.
All students take Bible courses, annually. in addition, we require all students to participate in 30 hours of community service in order to graduate from high school. Our focus is not only on learning but on doing/serving God in all of the ways He teaches us. It is important students get to not only read about, but also participate in all that the Lord is doing. In this way, learning becomes actionable and prepares students for their future.
