Frequently Asked Questions

How do you integrate Christian values at SFCA?

We believe the Bible is the absolute truth, and a biblical worldview is integrated into everything we teach. We welcome families from more than 100 churches who agree with the SFCA Statement of Faith.

What are school hours?

School begins at 8:00 a.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, and at 9:00 a.m. on Wednesdays. Students in kindergarten through 5th grade are dismissed at 3:00 p.m., while students in grades 6–12 are dismissed at 2:50 p.m.

For additional information about school schedules, including before- and after-school care, please visit our Parent Resources page.

Is it difficult to get accepted?

Our admissions process is designed to help families and SFCA determine whether our school is a good fit. Applicants must meet admissions qualifications, complete a grade-appropriate entrance assessment, and participate in a family interview. Acceptance is also based on available space in each grade, and some grades may have wait pools. Our admissions team is here to answer your questions and guide you through each step of the process.

Do you offer financial aid?

We do offer financial aid, but many of our families find the most benefit from applying for a Step Up for Students scholarship. We typically open applications for the scholarship in January, and enrollment remains open as long as our funding lasts.

Does your preschool offer full- and part-time options?

Yes! SFCA Preschool offers both part-time and full-time programs to accommodate your family’s schedule.

Part-Time (3-Day Program): Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.

Full-Time (5-Day Program): Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
