Fremont Christian School’s mission is to partner with families to accomplish the institutional motto of “Building Tomorrow Today.” By providing a learning environment in which students will be equipped to grow continually in mind, body, spirit and community, students learn to follow Christ’s example. It is a non-profit, private, co-educational Pre-K-12 school, established in 1968. It is located in the large, diverse suburb of Fremont, roughly 40 miles southeast of San Francisco. Our focus on excellence in academics is enhanced by our award winning Fine Arts department, championship winning athletics department and unique STEM program that includes the Space Engineering Program placing our student research projects in space with astronauts on the International Space Station. New for the 2013-2014 academic year is the introduction of January Term (J-Term) session, a two week program designed to explore new topics beyond the typical FCS curriculum for international travel, intensive classes or becoming involved in local internships.
