Friendship Christian Academy
FCA is an academy for private Christian education. We are committed to partnering with parents to equip our students for success. Our dedication to education and discipleship has led hundreds of students into fruitful lives of faith and character. By the power and leadership of the Holy Spirit, our school can help your student take hold of their future too.
We are Dedicated to Education and Discipleship
At Friendship, our calling is to help students succeed. We fulfill that calling, with God’s help, by training students for success in their education and by helping our students take meaningful hold of their relationship with Jesus. Our curriculum is uniquely designed to guide students to a better understanding of their life, their world, and their faith. A commitment to that curriculum, by both teachers and parents, will ensure we meet our calling of better education and discipleship for your student’s life and their future.
“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.”
Proverbs 22:6

Accelerated Christian Education
The curriculum we use at Friendship is A.C.E. (Accelerated Christian Education) This curriculum empowers us to meaningfully educate students about the world and help them understand their relationship with Jesus at the same time.
Each subject is split up into 12 books called PACE’s. All 12 PACE’s in each subject must be completed before a student can graduate to the next grade. A test must be passed before a student can move on to the next PACE and the next PACE cannot be completed unless the student understands the material from the previous PACE. This system allows comprehension to be our first educational priority instead of test-taking.
Each PACE focuses on a specific educational topic, such as fractions or long division in Math, but also teaches a specific verse from Scripture and a Biblical character trait. Students set reasonable goals each day on their Goal Card to ensure they complete each PACE in a timely manner. Both reasonable goal-setting and Scriptural education help students take ownership of the own education and relationship with Jesus.
Learn more about our curriculum and educational priorities on our More Info page and learn more about A.C.E. at their website.
Attend In-Person or Learn From Home
We are centrally located for students from Beaumont, China, Bevil Oaks, Lumberton, Vidor, Nederland, and from all over southeast Texas. Our location on Highway 105 makes us easy to find and easy to get to.
Our priority is in-person education. This gives us the most effective discipleship relationships with students. However, due to medical concerns or parents’ educational priorities, we understand that sometimes it may be best to work from home. Our curriculum uniquely allows students to work just as effectively from their own homes as they do at school.
Go to our Info page to learn more about how your student can take ownership of their own education in-person or at home.
“I don’t know where I’d be if it weren’t for A.C.E. I still recall verses from those PACE’s even today. I really do believe they’re what equipped me to take my relationship with God seriously in college when no one else was.”
— Blaine Gonzales, Alumnus (2011)
