As the Homeschool Program Coordinator at Faith Christian Academy, I am honored to support families who choose to educate their children at home. Our program provides both guidance and accountability, ensuring that parents have the resources they need for a successful homeschooling experience. Students enrolled in FCA’s homeschool program do not need to register as homeschoolers with the County.

Our Homeschool Office is dedicated to providing excellent service to help you effectively educate your students from kindergarten through 12th grade. Seniors in our program participate in regular graduation activities and receive a diploma from Faith Christian Academy, just like our on-campus students.

Homeschool students have opportunities to participate in all FCA’s extracurricular activities, including sports and honor society. Whether it’s our athletics program, after-school dance, field trips, or chapel services, we want our homeschool students to feel like a valued part of our school community.
