​Consultation
​Consultation meetings may be scheduled throughout the year as needed.  Contact Corinne Rocha to set up an appointment.  

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. 
​
Record Keeping for Enrolled Families
Goal Sheets:
At the start of each semester, parents must submit written goals for that semester.  Forms are provided or you may submit your own forms.  Goal Sheets are a simple form stating what grade level, curriculum and concepts your student is working on.
Attendance:

Parents are responsible for keeping daily attendance and submitting it to FFCA at the end of the school year.
