Back to School Dates & More

July 11, 2024

In just a few short weeks, Friendship Christian School teachers and staff will welcome new and returning students, plus their families, back to the Falcon fold! Campus will be buzzing once again.

Our school verse keeps us focused on our Biblical worldview: “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.” Ecclesiastes 12:13

The example we will seek to live out and teach our students is that our highest purpose is to learn about Christ, to love like Christ, and to serve like Christ.  All that we do, we do For Christ! As we prepare for the coming school year, we welcome feedback on how to better accomplish our mission of training servants for Christ.

See important dates below, download your school supply lists, and discover our Back to School Guide via email or the FCS Handbooks on the FACTS family portal.
