My son study in this brilliant school, I'm so happy he is there, we live in broward, and we spend like 1 hour each way to go to the school; we travel 4 hours daily, and I don't care because the school it's the best, they teach them the love of God and the academy it's excellent.

As a parent of three students that went to FCS from 4 k through 12th grade, I love FCS. It is well rounded. My children received an excellent education and also had the sports, drama, art, and music they needed to enhance their education. They learned about the love of the Lord and studied his word . I am a very satisfied FCS parent.

I absolutely love this school. Its christian based setting and academics are way above par. the teacher to student ratio is about 17-18 per class as opposed to 30-45 kids in public school so naturally teachers have more time to devote to each student. Our kids used to go to public school and can't believe the change and neither can we. Ms Genesis, I don't know what school u looked at, but it wasn't Florida Christian.
