Overview of Academics at foundations first
God has placed the responsibility for nurturing, training and developing children with their parents, not with the state.
That is why FFC is not a school, but a hybrid homeschool learning community, whose Mission is to "partner with parents to provide a comprehensive and balanced education that leads students to know God and His one and only Son, Jesus Christ, the only Foundation of all sound knowledge and learning. "
Foundations First Christian is NOT a school, but a hybrid learning community where we enroll homeschool families in an innovative cooperative membership model, partnering in the spiritual, social, academic, physical and emotional development of children. We welcome and expect parents to be engaged in every aspect of their children's education - but they don't have to do it alone!
Full-Programming
Like homeschooling, FFC parent-members play a major role in teaching and guiding, with different levels of support and flexible programming provided by Foundations and designed to meet the needs of your family.
Like a school, students are guided by professional teachers through a comprehensive curriculum from Pre-Kindergarten through High School, including optional Dual-enrollment courses for college credit.
