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 STEM classes into our curriculum to help students develop critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and problem solving skills. STEM, which stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, gives students hands on opportunities to explore real world concepts in engaging and meaningful ways. Through experiments, building projects, coding activities, and design challenges, students learn how to think logically, ask questions, and work as a team to find solutions. 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 STEM 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.
