My family has been blessed to be a part of the FCS family for two years. During that time we have watched our daughter blossom into a wonderful young lady who has a heart for God. As Christians it has always been of the utmost importance to us that our daughter is raised in a Godly environment where prayer, scripture, and a relationship with God are encouraged along with academics. FCS has been the perfect environment for our Daughter.
Before we enrolled our daughter in the 3 years old program, my daughter was a stay at home child. We were very concerned about her transition to a school environment. The staff at the Preschool was very nurturing and the transition was smooth. Often I would pick her up and observe the staff giving hugs and playing with the children. Our daughter was, and still is, excited about school and would often tell us how much she loved her teacher. As parents leaving our daughter in someone else’s care for the first time, it was a great relief to know our daughter was in Great hands.
The loving nature of FCS extends to the parents and family of their student. Our family has experienced some loss over the past few years. Each time our extended FCS family was there with prayer and encouraging words. As a school family we have prayed for each other and our families as situations have arose and we have rejoiced together as families have overcome.
There is a special relationship that develops between the staff, students, and families of FCS. The basis of that relationship is God. Whenever God is in the center, all things work together. We are blessed to have our daughter educated in a Christian environment and be a part of the FCS family.
Sincerely,

The Impact of Christian Education on Little Ones
A Grandparent's View
A testimony by Mrs. R
My husband and I are fortunate to be able to send our two grandchildren to Christian schools. We thought this season of our lives was over, but God knew the plans He had for us! What a blessing to be in partnership with Fredericksburg Christian Schools which provides not only excellent academic training, but also training in righteousness.
I am amazed how they are already understanding biblical truths, like when our oldest told me he wanted to honor me like his teacher had talked about at school that day. My eyes filled, and my heart was blessed! We talked about what honoring someone meant, and I was in awe that even our youngest, who is in the three year old class, pointed out that he could honor me by obeying!
While our youngest is one of the most loveable little boys around, he can also be quite stubborn! Both of our boys have had times when they've had to visit the director's office. I would love to take her office home with me, because so much is accomplished after a visit! The lessons learned are built on the unconditional love of our Savior, and thus can soften the most stubborn of hearts.
While it was important for our children to attend Christian schools, it is even more important for our grandchildren. The world has changed dramatically since we were parents. It is our desire that they are citizens of godly character and high standards, and that they would be able to stand firm against the attacks of Satan that will come in their lifetime.

We heard about FCS from a friend while we were making plans to move here from California. Because of some health problems, it was a very stressful season of our lives. We have always placed great value on Christian education. As I ended a conversation with a representative of the preschool program, I knew that FCS was the place for our children.
We expected that FCS would provide a solid academic program for our children and was certain the teachers would be born-again belivers. What we did not expect was how they would embrace our entire family. They reached out to us in a very personal way. As our children have completed their first year at FCS, we have seen God's handprints on their lives by the way the teachers have loved them, prayed for them, encouraged them and loved our family simply because we are one of His. Their learning as far exceeded our expectations. We love FCS!!

Fredericksburg Christian Schools not only raises the bar on academic standards, but has proven instrumental in the spiritual life of our child. Our daughter has not only received an excellent education thus far, but was lead to receive Christ as her Savior by her Pre-K teacher who recognizes the calling God has placed on her life in the ministry of her students. We thank God for the opportunity to have our daughter enrolled in a school that is providing a superb combination of academic excellence and an environment that nurtures her spiritual growth. We thank God for not only what FCS has done for our daughter, but what it has meant to our entire family.
