Programs

At FCA, we take great pride in our Fine Arts Department, which has become a central part of our school culture. For the past 14 years, we have hosted a yearly Christmas musical that involves every student in the school. What makes this production so special is that our students are fully involved in the creative process. They help write the scripts, compose and perform the music, record audio, design and build the scenery, and contribute in many other meaningful ways. It has truly become a staple of FCA and something our families look forward to each year. This past year, we were excited to expand our department by adding a small orchestra, and we look forward to continuing to see our program grow and flourish in the years to come.

At FCA, we have incorporated STREAM classes into our curriculum to help students develop critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, innovation, and problem solving skills. STREAM, which stands for Science, Technology, Robotics, Arts, and Mathematics, gives students hands on opportunities to explore real world concepts through experiments, robotics, coding, building projects, creative arts, and design challenges. Students learn how to think logically, ask questions, use technology, express their creativity, and work together to develop solutions while gaining skills that can prepare them for future educational and career opportunities. These experiences not only strengthen academic skills but also build confidence and curiosity about how things work. Our students are so excited about what they are learning that they often say they look forward to their STREAM class even more than recess!

At FCA, we are proud to partner with Valencia College and Southeastern University to provide our students with the opportunity to take college classes completely free of charge. Through these partnerships, students are able to earn real college credits while still in high school, giving them a strong academic advantage as they prepare for their future. Many of our students have even graduated with their Associate of Arts degree at the same time they received their high school diploma. In fact, almost all of our high school graduates leave with some amount of college credits already on their transcripts, setting them up for success in their continued education.

For more than 30 years HOF & FCA has been committed to giving back to our community through education, mental health services, substance abuse prevention and recovery, family support, career development, and community outreach. Through FCA we provide students with academic education, STREAM programming, performing and fine arts, drug prevention education, character development, and opportunities that prepare them for successful futures. 

​

Through our new 18,750 square foot Creative Arts Center, we will significantly expand these outreach efforts by providing the community with access to performing and fine arts, STREAM education, culinary arts, concerts, theatrical performances, cultural events, conferences, educational workshops, substance abuse prevention programs, career development opportunities, and other community activities. The Center will provide a welcoming space where students, families, community organizations, and visitors can gather, learn, create, perform, develop practical skills, and access opportunities that may otherwise be unavailable to them.
