Elementary (K-5)

Faith Christian Elementary School (K-5) Academics

In our elementary school, we are all working toward facilitating the work of the Holy Spirit in the hearts of our students. Our desire is to see each child give his/her heart to Jesus at an early age. Therefore, we aspire to model godly character for students in our daily lives.

At Faith Christian, we focus on keeping Jesus at the center, glorifying God, and serving others through the power of the Holy Spirit! We strive to love our neighbors as ourselves. In order to acquire an excellent education and passionately represent Christ at FCES, our teachers must be able to teach and all student must be able to learn.

FIELD TRIPS

Students have the opportunity to learn not only in the traditional classroom setting, but also on a variety of field trips! Some of our traditional school trips are The Denver Zoo (K), The Denver Museum of Nature and Science (1st), The Arvada Center (2nd), Denver Aquarium (3rd), History Colorado Center (4th) and Young AmeriTowne (5th).

YOUNG AMERITOWNE

Young Ameritowne is an outstanding educational program that our 5th graders take part in annually, and is one of the big highlights of the year. This learning tool helps us to teach business, economics and free enterprise in a fun and hands-on way. In addition, Young AmeriTowne introduces students to concepts such as supply and demand, job skills and work habits, banking procedures, democratic processes, civic consciousness, and career awareness. The program culminates with the students running a city for the day at the Young American’s Bank in Cherry Creek. This field trip is long remembered by all!

ASCI SPELLING BEE & MATH OLYMPICS

It is exciting to see many of our elementary students excelling academically as they are given a variety of opportunities to be challenged in the academic disciplines.

FROM THE STUDENTS THEMSELVES

Excerpts from 5th grade essays

“FCA prepares me for life. To start with, Teachers at FCA support you in whatever you do. For example in basketball they come and watch me. They are trustworthy and honest in what they do. Though, super loving to everyone including me!!! Next, safety here is very important.”

“‘Hey dad even though I’m only in 5th grade I feel ready for college’ I said. ‘I know that’s why we send you here’ he said. As long as I stay at FCA, I will be prepared for life. In the first place, the Christianity is truly amazing because we are allowed to worship freely. The teachers are TREMENDOUS, TRUSTWORTHY, and they help bring me feel closer to God.”

“FCA always has the best subjects and recommended levels. The school staff test you to see what level you’re in, and has special subjects including Art, Tech, and PE. FCA lots of advanced classes Like high math and science. FCA helps me prepare in academics for the future.”

“Some of my favorite parts are having chapel every Thursday because we have prayer in chapel. Furthermore, there are great people to be friends with! The things I like about my friends are that they are all fun and very smart.”
