Join us at the Dixon Culver’s for an evening of yummy food and fundraising for FCS. A portion of the sales from the evening will go to benefit the FCS Outdoor Improvement Fund (which includes the Elementary Playground and the paving of the parking lot and drive at the Middle School/High School.). A higher portion of sales will be donated for every online order placed between the hours of 5:00-8:00pm. We are thankful for our local Culver’s and their willingness to help support the school. Now, who wants a Butterburger and some frozen custard?
Faith Christian School (Preschool-12th Grade) is currently accepting applications for student enrollment for the 2022-2023 school year.
Building a Legacy
For more than four decades, FCS has been faithfully serving the Sauk Valley area. We have seen our graduates attend prestigious colleges and universities across the country–The U.S. Military Academy at West Point, University of Michigan, University of Illinois, Cornell University, Liberty University, Olivet Nazarene University, Virginia Tech University and Indiana Wesleyan University…to name a few. In and out of the classroom, our goal is to make a positive impact for Christ in the lives of our students.
Looking Through a Christ-centered Lens
At Faith Christian School, all subjects are taught with a Biblical worldview…Jesus Christ is the focus lens through which students will learn and grow in knowledge and understanding. Not only in Bible but in Reading, Social Studies, Science and Math–Biblical truths are taught and discussed.

“On the first day of Christmas Dress-up, the Student Council gave to me…” For the second year in a row, the FCS Student Council is sponsoring “The Twelve Days of Christmas Dress-up” at the Middle School/High School. Each day, there is a different dress-up theme, and students don their favorite holiday apparel for some Christmas fun. Ninth grade student, Helen Pfeiffer said, “Dressing up is a great way to express Christmas cheer!” Lainey Guerrero, also a 9th grader, shared that “to dress in the theme of things brings joy and cheer!”
First week themes included Christmas Morning Pajamas Day, Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree Day, Who-ville Neon and Crazy Hair Day, Christmas Movie Character Day and Flannel Day. Many thanks to Mrs. Heller and the Student Council crew for putting this event together. “The Twelve Days of Christmas Dress-Up” began November 29, and will conclude on Tuesday, December 14…just in time for finals!
Are you interested in learning how to earn money for your fundraising goal or child’s tuition just by doing your everyday shopping? Join Mrs. Heller on Tuesday, November 9, at 6:30p.m., for an informative meeting on the “Shop with Scrip” program. The meeting will be held at the Middle School/High School building in Room 102.

“Excitement Grows for the New Faith Christian School Elementary Building!”
If you have driven by the old Grand Detour School just off Highway 2 north of Dixon, you have probably seen the activity taking place on the vacant building. Faith Christian School students and faculty are eagerly awaiting the opening of their new elementary campus at this site scheduled for this spring. Purchased last September by Faith Assembly Church on behalf of the school, the facility is under renovation in anticipation of Kindergarten through 4th grade students soon filling its classrooms.
On the exterior of the building, a new roof will be completed by the end of the month. The interior of the school is being updated with a new state of the art fire and security system, new classroom floors, and other exciting improvements that will allow teachers to enhance the classroom experience for their students. The school will include classrooms for five grades, an art/music room, gymnasium and a library. “This renovation project is being done with a high level of excellence that is consistent with and complements the excellence in education that or principal and teachers provide,” states Jeremy Heller, Project Manager.
In addition to the improvements taking place to the physical building, families and staff are looking forward to plans for an innovative outdoor area that will be used for both play and learning. Fallen trees have been cleared, and the ten acres of property will not only create room to build this outdoor learning center, but also will provide an abundance of space for students to play sports, games, and activities.
Faith Christian School is seeking financial partners for their vision to “SOAR into the Future”, which will provide Sauk Valley families an enhanced option for education that is committed to academic excellence and achievement within a strong Christian environment.
