Curriculum Overview

The cornerstone of education at Family Life Community School is the firm conviction that the God of the Bible is the author and source of all knowledge, wisdom, and understanding. We believe that the goal of education is more than solely the impartation of information or specific skills. We seek to advance the whole child helping them to "...increase in wisdom, stature, and favor with all men", as Jesus did (Luke 2:52  NASB).
