The Lord brought us through a year unlike any other! We are grateful that He sustained us during these unprecedented times. In addition, THANK YOU for your support through it all! We made it to summer!
During the summertime, our dedicated office and maintenance staff are hard at work preparing for the return of teachers and students in the fall. There is some time to recharge, and we want to make sure that everything is "just right" for those whom the Lord brings our way.
Several classes have already reached capacity for the fall of 2021. If you are contemplating a switch to FCA, please complete one of our Pre-Admission Questionnaires.
Please give us a call at 904-321-2137 if you have any questions.
Together in Faith,
Bryan Alvaré

Michelle Walsh, Spanish teacher and a mother of two FCA students, is heading up a new program, the Pop-Up Uniform Store.
|
|
Mrs. Walsh is collecting gently-used uniforms to resell at very low prices. All proceeds will go right back into our school!
Please make sure your donations are clean, with no tears, holes, frays, or stains then place them in the designated containers in the office. Mrs. Walsh would appreciate some help! Parents and student volunteers are welcome to help sort and run the Pop-Up Shop in the late summer. If your student is interested in volunteering, please contact Mrs. Walsh by email at mwalsh@fcaangels.com.
Thank you for helping raise more funds for our wonderful school. Every little bit helps!

Excitement was very evident on the Lower Campus of FCA where graduation was held for kindergarten students.
Parents and Grandparents took plenty of photos of the precious young scholars on their way to becoming first graders next school year. Mrs. Christina Bordnick, Asst. Principal exuded pride in the graduates.
“It was a rewarding year filled with growth and opportunity for students and staff alike. I am looking forward to seeing these bright youngsters next year when they return as First Graders.”

Mr. Bryan Alvaré, Headmaster at Faith Christian Academy, is pleased to present the Senior Class of 2021. The Senior Class held its ceremony in New Life Baptist Church on Thursday evening, May 27th. The Senior Class Commencement was the first-ever for the growing Christian academy which is celebrating its Twenty-Fifth Anniversary this school year. The 25th Anniversary and the Senior Class Graduation are significant milestones in the school’s proud and distinguished history.
Presiding over the ceremony was Mr. Alvaré, Headmaster. Pastor Rob Goyette, Living Waters World Outreach Center, the founder of Faith Christian Academy was the guest speaker. Destiny McAlaster was the class Valedictorian. The Salutatorian was Katie Wehrung. Families and friends of the graduates were on hand to offer prayers and congratulations. Barb Kent, a long-standing member of the Board of Trustees, exclaimed “this graduation is the culmination of hard work and dedication on the part of FCA’s students, faculty, and administration. I am very proud of these young men and women.”
Mr. John Van Tomme, President of the Board of Trustees, indicated that the Academy represents God’s active and engaging presence in a faithful partnership among the church, family, and school. Mr. Larry Smith, the assistant principal, said "though it was my first year at the Academy, it was a senior year of several firsts: National Honor Society, Appalachian Missions Trip, Missions U. Program and Commencement.

Middle School Students had a great time flying high on their STEM Field trip to iFLY. |
|
|
|
As part of their Middle School Science Unit on Newton’s Laws, students learned firsthand the wind tube's force, motion, and fluid dynamics.
iFLY instructors demonstrated the power of air with many household objects and then showed off their own fantastic moves. At the end, students and parents alike took their turns experiencing the forces first hand with their own time skydiving, discovering it’s fun but definitely more difficult than it looks!
This amazing experience was just one of the ways FCA students ended this unprecedented year on a high note of their Middle School Science Unit on Newton’s Laws.
"This Amazing Experience was just one of the ways FCA Students ended this Unprecedented Year on a High Note!"
