With the foundation for academics in place, students in middle school are ready to build on that foundation, discover and develop individual gifts, and explore their own areas of interest.
Friends Christian School exists to develop, nurture, and equip students to positively impact their world for Jesus Christ. In grades five through eight, students have the opportunity and encouragement to grow spiritually, academically, in the arts, in athletics, and in leadership.
Accredited by both the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and the Association of Christian Schools International, FCS provides a biblically integrated curriculum that follows the California framework for academics. All teachers have state teaching credentials and ACSI certificates. They bring a love for the Lord and a passion for teaching, and it shows in the classroom.
The FCS middle school campus enjoys great facilities including large classrooms, a music room, library, gymnasium, and athletic fields. The church sanctuary is available for chapel and special assemblies.
