Fort Myers Christian School (FMCS) receives a lot of praise reports every year. There is no doubt that we indeed are making an impact and a difference.
FMCS has a very good reputation in the community and with the parents.
We have several teachers and staff members who have been here since the school started in 1979.
Here are some of statements we have received recently:

Learning Resource Program
I am a mom of a middle school student who as attended here since kindergarten. Every year, but kindergarten my son has had to have tutoring usually it was a big help. But it was always after school hours which by then hed was tried. Now that our school offers a Resource Room and tutoring he gets what the help he needs during school which is a big help for him. He has increase in his GPA quite a bit since the beginning of the year. And how awesome it is that Mrs. Stewart was his first grade teacher. Myra is so knowledgeable with learning disabilities and is so patience and kind to her students. My son has actually learned better studying skills from her which as increased his tests scores. This has been a huge plus in our lives especially with being a single mom with out a lot of time in the evening to spend with him on school. I want to thank our Principal and the Board for allowing us to have this awesome program at our school. What benefits we will reap from this needed help. Praise God!!

FMCS was an experience Iīll never forget. Every year there helped shape who Iīd be become, helped me to learn about God and give me a strong christian foundation to get me through my life. And the mission trips impacted me in such a way I knew right then that Iīd never be the same. That alone completely shifted who Iīd become as an adult. Thereīs nothing Iīd love to do more than to give back to the school that already gave me so much. And I know Iīm in a rough financial patch along with everyone else right now, but when Iīm back on my feet and successful Iīm gonna make a point of giving monthly donations to help the school with whatever you guys need...Just felt led to remind you that despite how a lot of the kids turn out when they leave, what you guys do there is still impacting lives every day :-) Take care and God Bless.

Thankful Parent
Mr. Mitchell,
This is something I have been meaning to do since the beginning of the school year and I am not going to put off anymore. I just wanted to thank you and all involved at FMCS for the wonderful job you do and the positive environment you have created for my child to learn. Ryder attended FMCS for both Pre-K 4 and Kindergarten and I could not be more pleased at the progress he has made as well as the level of learning he has achieved in the past year and a half. He has blossomed as a result of teachers who truly love and are passionate about their studentīs learning. I work at Lee Middle School as the Information specialist and it is because I work at a public school that I know the right place for Ryder is in a good Christian school. You spoke about the hesitancy of people to send to children to private school at the banquet and I know what you were talking about. After attending Catholic schools for 11 years I swore I would never do that to my children. Well, never say never! What I have found at FMCS is the opportunity for my son to be educated according to Biblical principals, to worship and praise Jesus everyday without fear of being ridiculed or ostracized and to do it in positive and loving environment. I want him to grow up believing it a normal, joyful, everyday part of going to school. He is 6 years old and he prays to God on a regular basis about things that truly blow my mind because of the perception it takes for him to even know about such things, he falls asleep at night with his Bible wrapped in his arms because Godīs word gives you power and he knows nothing can touch him when he has Godīs power and he believes that. He has learned some of this from church and Sunday school but I credit the majority of his knowledge, love and actions to the environment you have provided for him.
I thank God everyday for providing me the ability to send him to FMCS, I truly believe with all my soul that this is where God meant for him to be
Well, I didnīt mean to go on and on I just really wanted you to know how much I appreciate all that you and the school do and how gratefully blessed I am to be able to send my child there. I donīt have much opportunity to volunteer or help out in the classroom to show my appreciation but I wanted to let you know that I donīt take this gift for granted and it means the world to both Ryder and me. I tell my friends all the time that it is worth the financial sacrifice to send Ryder there. I wish I could make them understand that the education and love of Jesus that taught at FMCS is far more valuable than any material objects we may have to do without, there is not even a comparison. Thanks for all you do, all your hard work and for your love of the students and families of FMCS. May God bless this school with much success and financial stability in the future. The Lord knows how much we need this school.

Elementary Chapel
Mr. Mitchell,
This morning, I had the opportunity to sit in on the elementary chapel service. I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know what a FANTASTIC job I think FMCS does with the children! The entire service was organized, exciting, informative, and I can definitely see why my little girl looks forward to it each week! To you, Ms. Jean, Ms. S., and the FMCS faculty and staff: Thank-you for helping to provide such a wonderful place for my little girl to spend each day!

Productive Citizens/Impacting Others for Christ!
Friday was a great day for receiving praise reports! Our missions statement concludes with our goal of leading our students to be "productive citizens in society and impact others for Jesus Christ." At school, I found out from our music teacher, Mrs. Gulbronson, that three of her 8th graders from last year had successful singing auditions at their new high schools - Kaysee Donathan at Ft. Myers High, Megan Bowen at Cypress Lake and Katie Edwards at North Ft. Myers High School!
When I came home, I had two letters in the mail with updates from two of our alumni and their their life-changing summer mission trips: Josh Comerīs missions trip to Peru and Jeff Richterīs trip to Zambia, Africa!
We are very proud of these young people and happy that FMCS had a chance to be a part of their lives.
