I had a great experience during my time at this school. The school has fun activities, sports to be involved with, and it also has a very good family atmosphere. I think that anyone should go there if they want their kids to be filled with the Word every single day. The school staff does a wonderful job of pouring into all the kids every day.

A big thing for me at First Coast is the sports. It's a great way to bond with upper and lowerclassmen. Good sportsmanship is always encouraged. My worst experience at First Coast is the people. You need to watch out for the snakes and make sure you really know who you're hanging around. Something I would like to see change is definitely the atmosphere. For a Christian school, it needs a lot of work in the student body. It's not one person, grade, or group, the school as a whole needs help.

As Christian’s are called to balance grace and truth and if we lean too much towards one or the other, we aren’t following christs example. So many churches are acting so scared of the world that they become Pharisees in this time and lose the grace that allows us to truly love our neighbors. Anti g...
