FCA Philosophy
At Foundation Christian Academy we provide students with an education that has the Bible as its authority and Christian principles and standards applied to every aspect of learning. We believe students should be brought up “in the nurture and admonition of the Lord” (Eph. 6:4).
Foundation Christian Academy admits students of any race, color, and national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
