As academic material grows more complex at these grade levels, FCA recognizes that each student has their own unique way of learning and processing knowledge. The academic standard is designed to prepare students for higher levels of learning and to help them grow more confident throughout their academic journey and to realize that they are capable of achieving whatever they set their mind to while also being mentored in the Christian way of life inside and outside of school.

This one is especially valuable for students who want dual credit, but also want to preserve the biblical integration they have already been receiving at FCA. Campus EDU contracts with several Christian Universities to offer classes with a biblical worldview. These classes come from regionally accredited Christian Universities so the credits are transferrable to any university later on. If your student is interested in attending a Christian University this is an excellent way to get their foot in the door and to see what it is like. We currently have 21 classes that we are approved for that include courses in Math, History, Philosophy, Psychology, Bible, Fine Arts, Computer, Finance, etc.
