Elementary
FRCS is set up like many other schools, as far as grade-level learning objectives and scope and sequence are concerned. But that's where the similarities end. We're known for integrating the Bible in every class. PE? Of course. Math? Without a doubt. Science? Can you say creation? Our curriculum includes a mix of Christian and secular publishers for our textbooks and supplemental materials. This approach works well in every subject area we teach including Bible, language arts, math, reading, science, social studies, and our weekly specials classes in art, music and physical education. Fifth and sixth grade students also have the option of auditioning for honor choir. Naturally, all aspects of our educational program are taught in an environment that support your values as Christian parents. At FRCS, your young children will hear more than just Bible stories...they'll learn how to rely on God.
Interested in after school enrichment programs? We've got them. Examples include poetry, writing, drama, sign language, and many others. We also participate in Destination Imagination, a program similar to Odyssey of the Mind, which encourages teamwork, problem solving skills, creativity and both spontaneity and long-range planning.
Kindergarten: FRCS offers both full-time Kindergarten (5 days a week) and part-time Kinder (2.5 days a week). Both programs are academic in nature and prepare students for advancement to first grade. Part-time Kinder meets on Monday mornings from 8:00-11:15 plus full days on Wednesday and Friday (8a-2:55p). Should you choose to participate in the Kindergarten Spanish Immersion program, this optional class meets on Monday afternoons from 12:30-2:55pm. Full-time Kinder students receive additional specials (art, music, PE) in addition to lunch time and another recess period. All students applying for Kindergarten must be five years old by September 1 of the current year. All Kindergarten applicants must follow the regular admissions process (including screening) to determine readiness for Kindergarten. Screenings generally take place before or after the family interview.
Homeschool Enrichment: If you are a homeschool family, you'll love the opportunities to partner with FRCS. We offer chapel, art, music, PE, guitar, sign language, and creative writing classes for elementary homeschoolers on Wednesdays starting September 8, 2010 through May 18, 2011. Tuition is $900 for the year. Homeschool students may participate in a host of activities and events. Click on the Homeschool Enrichment link in the upper left corner of the home page.
Spanish Adventures for Elementary Students - We are thrilled to offer the SpeakEasy program for students in grades K-2 who have a desire to learn Spanish. You may learn more about this optional program by visiting our home page and clicking on the links under DISTINCTIVE PROGRAMS.
Junior and Senior High
If you are interested in your student attending college, the college prep program at FRCS meets or exceeds the entrance requirements of most colleges, including highly selective colleges. We have alumni attending colleges and universities ranging from Wheaton College to the Colorado School of the Mines. Simply put, we're doing our job of preparing our students for future academic success. Should your graduates choose to engage in ministry, attend a trade school, or go straight into the working world, you will be blessed by how well equipped they are to impact the world for Christ.
Arts? Athletics? Innovative programs? Yes, yes, and you betcha! We offer an excellent fine arts program (choir, drama, photography, interior design, etc.). Our athletic program currently includes volleyball, basketball, football, baseball, soccer, golf, and cheerleading/stunt. Exciting new classes are offered in robotics, interior design, forensic science and others. We also have small group Bible studies, known as discipleship groups, that provide opportunities for students to share, pray and disciple others.
Both Junior and Senior High students are given a unique opportunity to participate in annual retreats emphasizing purity education and their faith. Spring Practicum is designed to provide learning environments that stretch beyond the traditional classroom setting. These programs are unique and challenging ways for students to experience the "outside world." Examples of programs include in/out-of-state ministries, 8th grade trip to Washington D.C., studies with local museums and arts programs, assisting various organizations in conserving our state and national parks, etc.
Homeschool Options: FRCS offers both core and elective courses on a space available basis for 7th-12th grade homeschool students. Click on the Homeschool Options link in the upper left corner of the home page.
