Traditional ProgramFaith Christian Academy offers multiple academic tracks that include a wide variety of Biblically integrated courses. Students who enroll in the traditional FCA program attend classes on campuses in grades K-12 that upon graduation are designed to prepare them to succeed in college. Students in grades K-12 are required to take traditionally taught courses in Bible, English, Math, Science and Social Studies. Additionally, a variety of elective courses are offered in foreign languages, pre-engineering, the visual arts, speech, drama, choir, band, technology, and physical education. FCA students have access to technology labs on each campus. Special art and science labs are available as well. Additionally, FCA high school students may choose to take either advanced placement or dual credit college classes in which they have the opportunity to earn college credit while attending high school.
