Thirty credits are required for graduation from Forest City Christian School. A one-semester course is equivalent to one-half credit. If a student fails a required course, he/she must retake that class the next time it is offered unless it conflicts with another required course. Classes offered at FCCS must be taken on campus to receive graduation credit. In addition to academic requirements, a student will complete twenty-five hours of mission and/or community service each year.

Since Christianity is a lifestyle, Biblical standards of behavior are expected of students at school and away from school. Misbehavior on or off campus consists of attitudes and behaviors that violate Scriptural principles of right and wrong. Students are expected to act becomingly and appropriately as young Christian men and women.

Classical Education: A teaching style for the way children were designed to learn
 

• A. Emphasizing grammar, logic, and rhetoric in all subjects:
• B. Encourage every student to develop a love for learning and to live up to his academic potential
• C. Provide an orderly atmosphere conducive to the attainment of the above goals
  
  For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.   ~Proverbs 2:6

Forest City Christian School provides an education with the students' success in mind, understanding that FCCS may not be the best place for all students. With this understanding, a recommendation may be made to parents that seeking another school would be in the best interest of the child.

Once a student is enrolled at FCCS, a mutual bond of commitment is established between the school, the student, and the parent. Together we commit ourselves to provide effective communication to operate in an efficient manner.

Students are expected to commit themselves to the community, to be effective learners, to cooperate with teachers and others. Students are expected to respect the codes and regulations of the school and to grow in responsibility for their own education.

Parents are expected to be committed to their child’s education. This would include supporting faculty and administration as well as the policies, regulations and procedures of FCCS.

FCCS admits students of any race, color, nationality, ethnic origin, or gender to all rights, priviledges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at FCCS.

FCCS is a member of and affiliated with Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI). This is a group of Christian schools from around the world that are committed to providing a Christian education to students. There are more than 30,000 schools in the United States, Canada, and around the world who are committed to the association.

ACSI serves as an accrediting body of Christian schools and a certifying body for Christian teachers. Annual teacher conferences provide opportunities for our faculty to develop and expand their skills through participation and leadership. Academic competitions (Speech, Spelling, Drama, Creative Writing, Mathematics, Foreign Language, Art, Science, Vocal Music & Band) are part of ACSI’s annual calendar of events for elementary and secondary students.
