Faith Christian School

What Faith Christian School does

Faith Christian School is a private, non-profit 501(c)(3) Christian school serving 552 students from Pre-K through 12th grade at a single campus in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. Founded in 1993 as a non-denominational institution, it operates a college preparatory curriculum that integrates biblical teachings across all subjects. The school is dual-accredited by the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) and AdvancED, and offers Advanced Placement courses, dual-enrollment college credit, fine arts (band, music, visual arts), athletics, and an International Student Program for ESL students from South Korea and China. Average class sizes are 15 students in elementary and 18 in middle and high school, with 60+ staff members across all roles.

The school's primary revenue stream is tuition, structured as an all-inclusive monthly subscription with multi-student discounts and bundled fees. Secondary revenue comes from an annual 'Patriot Push' giving campaign targeting community businesses, churches, individuals, and alumni, with a 2025-2026 goal of $33,000 commemorating the 33rd year of operation. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer, relying on family referrals, church partnerships (with board representation capped at three members from any single church), campus tours, and a RenWeb-powered online inquiry and application portal. Marketing channels include the school website (fcspatriots.com), Facebook, and Instagram, with bottoms-of-funnel conversion handled through RenWeb enrollment workflows.

The institution is governed by a Board of Directors led by Head of School Erik Harris (Ed.D. ABD, Christian School Administration) and has invested heavily in a purpose-built campus across three construction phases completed between 2001 and 2011, plus an additional 34 acres purchased in 2015 for future expansion. Recent graduates have been accepted at 50 colleges across 16 states, including ECU, UNC, NC State, and Campbell University. The school is currently accepting applications for the 2026-2027 academic year, with multiple grade levels designated as 'LIMITED WAIT POOL STATUS.'
