Kindergarten at Faith Christian Academy

A strong foundation for your child’s future success!

Kindergarten is an important milestone in your child’s learning journey. Your son or daughter will become proficient in reading, writing, and math, all while developing the social and emotional skills needed to thrive in school. Most importantly, they will learn about their place in God’s world, developing a biblical worldview. 

As a parent, you know that environment matters — especially during these formative years. You want your child to be excited about learning and coming to school, and you want the assurance that they’re in a safe, edifying atmosphere. 

At Faith Christian Academy, we’ve designed our kindergarten program to meet both of these needs. We invite you to explore how we help students excel academically through individualized attention and partner with families to reinforce the Christian values taught at home.

After attending FCA for K5, both of our kids were definitely prepared to enter first grade. Not only did their reading greatly improve, but their mathematical and spelling skills blew my mind. My husband and I were amazed daily at the new things our kids were learning, as were their grandparents! The instruction time is unmatched. We have truly been blessed with the best teachers in K5, 1st and now 2nd grade at FCA.
