FCA Classroom
At Freedom Christian Academy, professional educators provide weekly in-class lessons in science (K-8th), social studies (K-8th) and Bible History (6th-12th). Teachers create engaging lessons that incorporate the subject matter with hands-on/minds-on learning.
FCA homeschool parents are responsible for including math, language arts (phonics, reading, writing, spelling/vocabulary, handwriting/typing), and electives to create a well-rounded educational experience at home.
