At Fayette Christian School, we desire for our students to learn diligently, live sacrificially, and launch intentionally into the world for Christ. We strive for our students to know the love of Jesus in a deeply personal way - in a way that permeates through every aspect of their lives. 

7,000...That is roughly how many days a child has between the time that they are born till they enter into adulthood. Our desire at FCS is to partner with parents from "crib to college" in educating their children. However, whether your child attends FCS at a young age or not, we are committed to pouring our lives into each child from the day that they arrive on campus until the day they graduate. We understand that parents are the primary molders of these students. We also know, however, that the school plays an important role in the influence of each student since the average child spends the majority of their time during the day in a school environment. Once your child finishes their senior year our hope and prayer is that we have helped each student graduate with the principles laid out in our Portrait of a Warrior Graduate.
