With students in 7th-12th grades in our Jr/Sr high program, we've got a blend of smart students, average students, and students who struggle academically. We view all of our students as unique gifts from God. From gifted and talented students to those enrolled in our NILD program (National Institute for Learning Development) to students in a self-contained classroom, we have athletes, artists, comedians, strong-willed, tender-hearted, you get the picture. Foreign exchange students, missionary kids, PK's, transfer students from public schools, homeschool, other private schools, and students moving here from out-of-state/country. There is only one way into heaven, but there is more than one way into FRCS. Your family will feel welcome here and we will do everything we can to help them thrive!

HIGH SCHOOL
We're fully accredited, so you can expect us to prepare your 9th-12th grade high school students for college and beyond with rigorous academics, deep spiritual formation and an authentic high school experience. Imagine your student connecting with his or her peers and growing his or her faith every week in a discipleship group. That happens here!

JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
Do you remember your Junior High years? Some would rather forget. We view seventh and eighth graders as eager junior high students who desire healthy peer relationships and boundaries that will help shape their character. With this perspective, you can expect your junior higher to excel in a nurturing educational environment.

Spring Practicum Jr/Sr. High

Spring practicum provides students with the opportunity to venture out of the traditional classroom and spend time in field education. Students spend several days visiting museums, exploring Colorado history and sites, biking, learning about art or being part of a missions project. Some trips are out of state learning experiences, such as the Washington D.C. trip.

Amazing stories – Former doctors, lawyers, butchers, bakers and candlestick makers (ok, not really the last three). Our teachers are passionate, highly skilled and they have answered the call to educate students and partner with parents who are intent on living their lives to please God. “May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.” Psalm 19:14. Your students will be loved on in a healthy, nurturing way at our school and you can expect to partner with some incredible teachers who invest in your student’s lives every day. 

We don't fill a teaching position with any warm body... rest assured, we hire educators who are "called" to teach in a Christian school. All of our teachers must hold a valid state teaching license or ACSI certificate. Many have their Master's degrees in education. Our teachers and administrators cover a broad spectrum of personalities as well as share a common passion for advancing the kingdom!

I have been around "Christian Education" all my life - as a student, parent and now teacher. I can't say enough about the spiritual direction of the school. The dual commitment of this school to academic excellence and to equipping kids to "live out loud" for God is unparalleled in my experience. The teaching staff is second to none - it's an honor for me to partner with them. The school is also non-denominational - many different churches are represented in the Front Range family - and the school respects those differences, encouraging kids to be able to defend from Scripture their beliefs and opinions; "critical thinking skills" based on God's Word are something the school holds as a very high standard."
