Great school , classroom size is a big deal these days so we are very pleased!
5 10/20/2021
FCDS is a truly wonderful school. Our son has attended for eight years, and grown into a thoughtful, compassionate, and aware little human. He is also exceeding our expectations when it comes to handling the challenging curriculum. I appreciate that the school is as rigorous about academics as it is about character education.
5 2/15/2021
Our child has flourished since coming to FCDS. The JAC at FCDS offers one of the best tutoring/LD assistance in the country. We had been at another school that had a specialized accreditation in LD; in short our child lost about two years of learning. Since joining FCDS, our child has caught up to where they should be in their academics and is a straight A student. The staff members are without a doubt the very best at educating student, even those with a profound LD issues. If you are looking for a school that treat children with kindness, respect, and will have parents involved in their children's educations, then look no further than FCDS.
