Christ-centered learning with real academic substance

Family of Christ combines biblical formation with purposeful academics. In the classroom, students engage with strong core subjects while also participating in chapel, scripture memorization, enrichment classes, and hands-on learning experiences. As students grow, they have opportunities to explore areas like robotics, coding, woodshop, American Sign Language, music, and more.

A school that partners with families

We know choosing a school is about more than academics alone. Parents want a place where their children are cared for, guided well, and surrounded by people who will reinforce what matters most. At Family of Christ, our school and church work together to serve families with equal commitment, helping students grow in faith, knowledge, and love for others.
