Fort Myers Christian School (FMCS) was established in 1979 by
First Assembly of God in Fort Myers, Florida.
FMCS is a fully accredited
PK3-8th grade school through the Florida Council of Independent Schools (FCIS),
(www.fcis.org) and the Florida Kindergarten Council (FKC),
(www.fkconline.org) (The only other school
in Fort Myers accredited with FCIS in The Canterbury
School). In March of 2007, an accreditation team
conducted their five year re-accreditation review. We
are happy to announce that our school has passed and
will continue accreditation through 2012!
We are also members of Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI),
(www.acsi.org). Currently ACSI serves over 5,300 member schools in
approximately 100 countries with an enrollment of nearly 1.2 million students.

Mission statement
FMCS works with the home and the church to Academically
Train and Spiritually Nurture students to become productive citizens in society
and impact others for Jesus Christ.
Philosophy
FMCS exists to cooperate with Christian
parents to teach and train their children according to God's Word. FMCS seeks to
integrate the truth of Scripture into every aspect of the curriculum and school
program and to nurture the development of Christian character in each
student.
It is our goal that each student be academically and spiritually
successful, and we believe this can only be fully attained through a combined
effort of the home, school, and church. The personal philosophy of each family
is important, as parents are encouraged to be actively involved in their child's
education. We exist to provide a Christian education for children of average and
above average aptitude and ability.
FMCS embraces a traditional approach to the elementary and middle school
curriculum. Strong emphasis is placed on phonics, critical thinking skills,
study habits and a disciplined approach to learning.
