Chapel
Weekly Chapel services are one of the most important aspects of student life at First Coast Christian. Every grade, from K3 – 12, sit under the teaching and preaching of God’s Word once a week, taking time to tune out the voices of the world and center on the Word of God.
Pre-K and Elementary
Our Pre-K and Elementary students have Chapel on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday mornings, meeting in the auditorium. These chapels are led by our staff and administration, as students learn songs and receive Biblical instruction from their teachers.
Middle and High
On Thursdays, all students in grades 6-12 meet in the auditorium for Chapel. These services include student-led worship and messages brought from the Word of God by teachers, administration, alumni, and other local ministry leaders. At the beginning of each school year, Spiritual Emphasis Week is held to intentionally start the year focused on Christ. The goal is to see the student body united by the Word of God, worshipping together as one.
Integrating Faith with Academics
First Coast Christian School believes that a quality education must be built on a solid foundation of Christian principles based on the Word of God. We strive to provide this Christian-based quality education to all students while integrating a Biblical worldview into every area of study. It is important that we integrate faith into our academics to encourage students to include God in every area of life. By incorporating both faith and academics in each day, this leads to a more successful student who serves God and others. To help further promote this strong foundation, students experience daily Bible classes and weekly Chapel services.
We use a curriculum combination of Abeka Book and Bob Jones University Press materials to develop not only a foundation of knowledge, but also the ability to think analytically, critically, and spiritually. Beginning in middle school, we offer honors courses; additionally, for those who meet the academic requirements, dual enrollment through Florida State College at Jacksonville is offered beginning in eleventh grade.
Each classroom is equipped with technology resources to enhance the curriculum such as computers, ebooks, iPads, and Apple TVs. Our learning management system, which assists with organizing content for each course, gives students the ability to access assignments, as well as tests and quizzes, directly from their iPad.
We believe that FCCS is the perfect size to provide the right opportunity for a student to be prepared for life. With class sizes designed to provide the attention needed, the classes foster an environment of learning both book and real-life knowledge.
First Coast Christian School students have endless opportunities to succeed spiritually and academically.
