The culture of the Christian school offers a safe, nurturing environment where students realize their God-given potential for impacting the world.

  • FPDS builds the foundation of a Christian education based on the infallibility of scripture. The school fulfills the mission of training a child up in the way of the Lord. My hope is that my children will build on these core values the rest of their lives.

  • When you have a child at FPDS there is peace in knowing that they are being loved and prayed for daily. Every one of their teachers and staff are rooting for their success. It's ok to mess up and try again. Grace is given, love is given, and academics are superior.

    Janice Fulton, Parent

  • Of all the things FPDS did for our child, we are most proud of the values the school helped instill in him. Every teacher he had invested in him, loved him, and pushed him to be better than he was the day before. We will forever be thankful for FPDS.
