Spring Practicum
Spring Practicum provides students grades 7-12 with the opportunity to venture out of the traditional classroom and spend time in field education. Students are given opportunities to explore careers and talents in various fields such as missions, medical, visual and fine arts, small business ownership, ranching, and government. Some trips are out of state learning experiences, such as the 8th grade Washington D.C. trip. An additional fee is required, and parents are asked to help drive in order to provide this unique learning experience. Student attendance is mandatory. Please see the Spring Practicum section under Academics for more information.
Wellness Retreats
FRCS is committed to wellness education from a Biblical perspective and takes an intentional approach. Students study God’s Word regarding heart purity and healthy male/female relationships. In addition, students examine our current cultural attitudes towards the permissive and destructive behaviors of premarital sex, STDs, and homosexuality. Each 8th and 10th grade class attends a focused one-day retreat. An additional cost for wellness retreats is required, and attendance is mandatory. The fees associated with our Wellness Programs are typically included in registration fees and are non-refundable. Please see the Wellness Education section under Academics for more information.
Spiritual Retreats/Activities
In order to foster spiritual growth in our junior/senior high students, the school year often starts with a day or overnight retreat or special activity. The goal is to begin the year focused on Christ in our attitudes, actions, and relationships and to introduce the school theme. It also provides a unique, fun opportunity for students to get to know their teachers and fellow students better. An additional cost is required (typically included in registration fees), and attendance is mandatory.
Dances
The school hosts 2-3 dances a year for senior high students with emphasis on homecoming and junior/senior prom. The purchase of tickets is required, and the office provides dance policies to students and parents prior to each event. Please see the Social Activities section for more information.
