Great athletic school but it focuses on academics for the most part. The math department is pretty bad but is improving every year. All the teachers are great and care about the students. Dress code rules are a little annoying for boys and there's barely a dress code for girls. I would like the school to focus much more on athletics because that could become an integral part of FCS culture, instead it is currently ignored.

I feel as though FCS really prepared me for college, especially when it comes to writing papers. However, I think that having A/B days would really help students and teachers be able to get more work done within the classes, as having 8 classes a day does not provide a long enough class period for AP classes. FCS is very community oriented and is really great at engaging student activity.

My children are thriving. My oldest is heading off to college soon, and I know he'll be prepared educationally. And, he has a solid foundation. The teachers truly care. FCS is not just Christian in name but in everything it does. Parents should understand the parent partnership is taken seriously. There are expectations of everyone to shepherd these children, because we work better together.

Our family loves this school. We have three children ranging from Pre-K to 4th grade at this campus. The teachers and staff at the Stafford Campus of Fredericksburg Christian School (I'm sure the other campuses as well) are fantastic, helping grow the children to have strong academic foundations and...

The education our children received at the grade levels 1-5 was absolutely superb. Academic and personal standards drop precipitously beginning in 6th grade

LOVE FCS!The teachers and staff are amazing and so caring! It truly is a home away from home for my children! So glad that the school reinforces the Biblical characteristics that we teach at home.
