What FAYETTEVILLE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL does

Fayetteville Christian School (FCS) is a private, church-affiliated K5-12th grade Christian school located in Fayetteville, Arkansas, operating as an educational ministry of Mission Boulevard Baptist Church since its founding in 1978. The school delivers a Biblical worldview-integrated curriculum built on the ABEKA and Bob Jones University Press programs for core academics, supplemented by Red Comet online electives (over 100 options for grades 7-12) and a dual-enrollment partnership with Northwest Arkansas Community College that enables high school students to earn college credit on campus. Academic outcomes are reported as strong, with ACT scores above Arkansas state averages and standardized test results indicating 5th-12th grade students average two grade levels above peers, supported by a faculty with an average tenure of 12 years.

The school operates on an annual tuition model at $6,500 per student, with ancillary application, registration, and book fees; tuition is supplemented by Arkansas LEARNS Education Freedom Account (EFA) state funding of $7,208 per qualifying student, donations as a 501(c)(3) non-profit, and fees from the National School Lunch Program and after-school extended care. FCS holds full accreditation from the Arkansas Nonpublic School Accrediting Association (ANSAA) since 1994 and maintains a debt-free operating posture per leadership commentary. The leadership team includes Superintendent Brad Jones (serving since 1986), Elementary Vice Principal and Admissions Director Debbie Nesbitt, Secondary Vice Principal and Guidance Counselor Rachel McGathy, and International Student Advisor Alicia Deavens.

FCS enrolls students from families across Northwest Arkansas and an international cohort, going to market through direct campus enrollment, Open House events, Mission Boulevard Baptist Church referrals, and admissions outreach. Distribution is single-site and physical, with online course options supplementing the on-campus core curriculum rather than replacing it.
