This is our first year with FCS and we are more than impressed. My daughter started 2nd grade with lower then 1st grade reading level. Whit in first 44 days of school, she started reading chapter books! Her teacher has been an amazing supporter and motivation for her. The staff is amazing and very welcoming. They go above and beyond to learn each and every student names and their families. This organisation has done a fantastic job on bringing students and parents together to make a community by hosting families, free, events.
We are grateful to be part of this wonderful community and school.

As both a parent (4-5 years) and former employee (2 years on and off), I once trusted this school, & I would have once left a raving review. I believed in its mission & thought my children were in a safe, Christ-centered environment. But after several years of firsthand experience, I can say that this school doesn't practice what it preaches.
I wrote a letter to the board after my son was wrongly accused of something serious. I handled it with grace & asked for anonymity & no punishment, only positive changes. Instead, my identity was exposed, my words twisted, & a staff member reprimanded... something that I NEVER intended. That betrayal broke my trust.
Soon, they brought in a new hire who repeatedly displayed behavior that went against everything the school stands for: vaping on campus, profanity in front of parents, gossiping publicly about staff, constant lying, refusing to pray with students, & violating dress code. Multiple staff & even parents reported concerns, yet nothing was done. When I brought my concerns to the board, they protected her, blamed the principal, & fired a loyal staff member. I resigned that same day she was fired.
Then they used my children as collateral. Despite being a straight-A student with no major behavioral issues, one of my kids was denied re-enrollment, while others with documented behavioral problems was excepted in years past. It was obvious. If the board doesn't like you, they'll use your family to rid of you.
The culture here is rooted in favoritism & power, NOT truth, grace, or integrity. I witnessed manipulation, gaslighting, & silence when accountability was needed the most. If you dare to speak up, you're shut down.
This is not the Christian environment it claims to be. I stayed silent for too long. But now, I speak up for my children & many others who deserve much better. Parents, I urge you to be vigilant. Get involved with your children. Ask necessary questions. And don't be afraid to see past the surface.
Fairhill in the end broke my heart, and more importantly, it failed the children it claims to serve.
Be aware of the environment in private schools, especially those that claim to be Christian. Watch out for the wolves in sheeps clothing! Fairhill's board is full of lies, deception, and a hunger for power. And if you ever dare to speak the truth — they will devour you. And I assure you, they will deny all that I have said here.
Clear conscience, hand on Bible, this is all my truth, & I am happily moving on.

With 1:10 teacher to student ratio, teachers are able to accommodate and present students with different techniques to help them learn and thrive.

They recognize and identify negative behaviors, and they have a system that’s effective and allows students to be accountable for their behavior.

Their classroom time is super productive, so most times homework is minimal for grades 3 and under.

Wonderful! We’ll be sad when we leave next year. It will be hard to find a gem like this anywhere else, especially for the price!
