Fulfill Volunteer Hours
Firm Foundation Christian Academy views volunteering as an important part of our students' overall development We believe it is an integral aid in the process of their spiritual, emotional, and civic minded maturity. As such, students are required to complete 25 hours of volunteer work per year. Students need to submit the volunteer registration form at the start of their volunteer post and the volunteer verification form with semester grades, both of which are to be completed by the supervisor.

Keep Accurate Records and Submit Them On Time!
All entering high school students, along with their parents, must have an individual meeting with the high school counselor in the Spring prior to the start of the school year. During this meeting, the parent(s), student, and counselor will discuss and complete the student's four year plan. Although there is an overview of record keeping requirements during the yearly high school meeting, which takes place in the Spring, the high school counselor can, if necessary, review record keeping requirements with the parent(s) and student at this time. The following are requirements for record keeping along with 2017/2018 due dates. Please take careful note of all due dates as it is important to submit all documents in a timely manner. You will find details about each of the items below on the high school "Dates and Deadlines" page.
