A Distinctively Christian Education
Parents choose to send their children to a Christian school for a multitude of reasons. Some want a higher level of academic excellence, some want the peace of mind that comes from having their children in a safer environment than some of the public-school counter parts, and some see the philosophical dangers of a secularized education. The most important reason to have your child in our school is to help your child develop the mind of Jesus Christ, a Biblical view of the world. How do you view the world around you?
“What’s Your Worldview (Quiz)”
“Are You Tolerant (Quiz)”
Here at First Coast Christian School, we hold to a Biblical Worldview and our goal is to provide a distinctively Christian education.
Our mission statement is…
“The mission of FCCS is to provide a quality, Christ-centered education in a safe, Christian atmosphere, to reach the heart of each student for Jesus Christ, and to prepare our students for the future by promoting spiritual growth and developing a biblical worldview.”
In considering your own view of Christian education, whether you are a parent, student, or educator, you need to know what you believe and what’s important to you.

Help Classes for Grades 6-12
If a 6-12 grade student finds himself/herself having trouble keeping up in the standard classroom time, he/she can attend help classes in all the core subjects. Please be advised that all help classes are by appointment only. Students should communicate with teachers at least one day in advance. Otherwise, teachers are not obligated to be present.
If the scheduled times do not meet an individual student’s needs, the student must plan with the teacher in question. Parents, please remember that help classes are not a substitute for one-on-one tutoring. If your child has extreme difficulty with a subject, please consider hiring a private tutor. If you cannot locate one, contact the guidance office for a list of recommended tutors.
