Fort Bend Christian Academy

What Fort Bend Christian Academy does

Fort Bend Christian Academy (FBCA) is a non-profit, non-denominational evangelical Christian school serving approximately 850-860 students across Pre-K through 12th grade on a 35-acre campus in Sugar Land, Texas. Founded in 1987 as Sugar Creek Baptist Church School and rebranded to FBCA in 2011, the school operates three divisions (Lower School PK-4, Middle School 5-8, and Upper School 9-12) under a vertically aligned academic model with a Biblical Worldview integrated across all subjects, an 8:1 student-to-faculty ratio, and average class sizes of 16. The school is accredited by SAIS and a member of HAIS, TPSA, ISM, SACSCASI, CESA, and competes athletically as a TAPPS 5A program with 26 varsity/JV teams in Upper School and 17 in Middle School.

The technology stack is comprised of standard commercial education platforms rather than proprietary systems: Blackbaud for tuition management, ClassLink for single sign-on, the Finalsite-powered MyFBCA parent portal, Blackbaud for learning management, ADP Workforce Now for HR, and Naviance/Scoir/CollegeBoard for college counseling. Lower and Middle School students receive school-issued iPads; Upper School operates a BYOD model. No proprietary AI/ML capabilities or differentiated technology assets were identified.

Revenue is generated primarily through tuition, structured on a subscription basis by grade level (ranging from $18,180/year for PK-K to $26,160/year for grades 9-12, with monthly, semi-annual, and annual billing options) and supplemented by application fees ($100), enrollment fees ($600 new / $250 returning), extended care services, summer camps, and charitable contributions via the Annual Fund. FBCA offers need-based financial aid up to 50% of tuition and participates in the Texas Education Freedom Account (TEFA) program beginning 2026-2027. The school is governed by a seven-member Board of Trustees and operates under a traditional nonprofit private school model with no parent company, external ownership, or venture capital involvement.
