Fredericton Christian Academy

What Fredericton Christian Academy does

Fredericton Christian Academy (FCA) is an independent private K-12 Christian school located in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. Founded in 1974, the school operates across two campuses, a Lower Campus at 778 MacLaren Avenue serving elementary and middle school students and an Upper Campus at 241 Canada Street housing the high school, with a combined staff of 17 employees. FCA is approved by the New Brunswick Department of Education and is a candidate school for the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, pursuing full IB World School authorization. The school is also affiliated with the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI), SAT/AP College Board, IELTS Canada, and TOEFL (ETS), and partners with the University of New Brunswick and Saint Thomas University for student pathways.

The school's service portfolio spans four core programs: a Kindergarten to Grade 12 curriculum grounded in the provincial curriculum; an Early Childhood & After School Centre for younger children; International Programs hosting students from over 18 countries (approximately 10% of the student body) in safe homestay placements; and ESL Camps delivered in winter and summer as experiential short-term programs. Supporting services include Family Focus newsletters, Caregiver Support Groups (Circle of Security and Strengthening the Parent-Child Relationship programs), curated parenting book recommendations, a Financial Aid Program administered through Apple Financial Services, and an International Webinar Series. Class sizes are intentionally small at 18-24 students, and the stated teaching standard is two or more degrees per instructor, with some at the Master's level. FCA reports that graduating classes have historically received an average of $100,000 in cumulative scholarships.

The business model is built on recurring subscription-style tuition from domestic and international families, with international payments facilitated through the PayMyTuition platform to support multiple currencies and cross-border settlement. Domestic enrollment runs through a sales-led admissions office (Director of Admissions), while international recruitment uses a direct-sales approach supplemented by webinars, country-specific brochures in English, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Portuguese, and inbound inquiries via the school website. A modest ancillary revenue line is generated through a $137.50 non-refundable processing fee on financial aid applications administered by Apple Financial Services. The school is privately held with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or public funding signals.
