We hope you join us on campus to get to know us. We look forward to welcoming you!
FCS hosts a series of Open Houses each year. In keeping with the spirit of FCS, our Open Houses are truly “open”, welcoming events, and the best way to learn more about our school—from FCS students, parents, teachers, and administrators. We look forward to seeing you on campus!
All Open Houses are open to parents/guardians/caregivers interested in applying to Grades K - 8.
