​Welcome 
​

Firm Foundation Christian Academy functions as a Private Satellite Program (PSP) and enrichment program offering homeschool support and community. As private homeschoolers, it is each families responsibility to instruct their students. This includes providing your own curriculum and implementing it however best fits your homeschool philosophy and student leaning style .

As a PSP we offer legal enrollment in a private school and cumulative record keeping. If you file your own Private School Affidavit (PSA) or are enrolled in a charter school, you may enroll with Firm Foundation as an Associate and enjoy enrichment classes, activities and events without the legal covering from FFCA. 
​

​New family registration is open for students in 2nd - 4th grade
and High School students signing up as Associates or Non-Members.

Text and Teaching Materials 
All text and teaching materials must be purchased by the family.  We do not provide curriculum or financial subsidy.  We do provide guidance in choosing material and/or curriculum that is right for you and your family.

Field Trips, Clubs & Other Events 
We provide many opportunities for learning experiences outside the home through field trips, clubs, Wednesday/Friday School, and other activities.  Families are responsible for the costs involved in the activities they choose to partake in.

Optional State Testing
 We do not require report cards. State Testing is one method to determine student progress.  It is optional and administered in the Spring. FFCA uses the BJU Press Online testing. Families may pick their own test date and administer the test in the comfort of their own home.
​
