Admissions Policy

Fort Myers Christian School is open to all qualified students regardless of race, color, national or ethnic origin. It does not discriminate in the administration of its educational policies, admission policies, scholarships, financial aid, or any other school administered programs. The Admissions Committee evaluates applicants on the basis of the application, the candidate’s transcripts, teacher recommendations, character and educational recommendations, disciplinary profile, educational history, academic assessment, and an interview with our Head of School. All students must meet our minimum Admission Criteria and be in good academic and behavioral standing at their last educational institution and eligible to return to school. We also require that at least one member of the student’s immediate family is a born again believer as stated in John 3:3. Here is a link to Our Statement of Faith. In considering applicants, the Admissions Committee analyze a number of factors to determine a student’s fit for our program, which will include (but are not limited to) a student’s academic strengths, former school record, unique talents, desire to learn, and faith background. Since FMCS is not adequately prepared to meet the needs of every student who applies, our admissions procedures are designed to help both the school and the parents make the best possible decision for the education of their child. Submission of an application and fee does not guarantee admission. Fort Myers Christian School Admission Committee reserves the right to deny admission to any student on the basis of the admission criteria or if the committee does not believe the school can adequately serve the needs of the student. All student application and assessment records will remain confidential and property of Fort Myers Christian School and will not be released to applicants. All admission decisions are final. Due to the competitive nature of the admissions process, prospective families are encouraged to visit our school in advance to application and to apply early.

Testimonials

“After homeschooling our children for four years, we decided to transition them into a traditional school setting and sought a school that would align with and support our values. Following extensive research on Christian schools in the area, and much prayer and discussion, Fort Myers Christian School emerged as the clear choice. Our experience has been exceptional with the staff and families we have met over the years enriching our lives. Our older two children, now in high school, still reflect on the outstanding teachers and memorable experiences they had during their time at FMCS. Our youngest child currently in 3rd grade, is thriving and looks forward to attending school every day. We are blessed to be part of the FMCS community.”

Jonas & Edma Arthur

“We are so glad we chose Fort Myers Christian School for our children’s elementary and middle schools. The teachers and administrative staff truly care about our children’s education and well-being. We remember during orientation the message relayed was that the staff at Fort Myers Christian School wanted us to feel like we were “at home.” They definitely provide that environment and for that we feel so thankful and blessed.”

Kyle & Christina Katzenmeyer

“I wanted to express my appreciation for FMCS’s significant impact on Elijah and Naomi last year. The staff showed dedication, passion, and guidance towards their spiritual, academic, and personal growth. The kids miss the school dearly, and so do I. Moving has shown us that finding schools and teachers with academic excellence is challenging. Thank you for everything that has been done and will be done in many children’s and their families’ lives. God bless you all!!!!”

“My name is Christine Swiersz. My husband, Tom, and I have had the great blessing of having all four of our daughters graduate from Fort Myers Christian School. The sixteen consecutive years our four daughters have attended FMCS have impacted our family and each of our lives in ways that words can never describe. All six of us have been changed for a lifetime. We have grown in our relationships, in our academic strengths, and, most of all, in our faith. Our children have grown exponentially in their faith in amazing ways, and so have my husband Tom and I!”

“I’m a proud alumni of FMCS. I loved everything about my time as an Eagle! When it came time to choose a school for our son, there was no place else we would rather send him. We look forward to seeing him grow during his time at FMCS!”

“I just want to let you know that once again FMCS has made an excellent choice with the additional security personnel. I spoke briefly with one of the security detail this morning and I was impressed with his background, professionalism and commitment to keep our kids safe. He has the perfect attitude. Any and all resources placed in security is 100% the best investment considering the environment we are in today. Thanks again for your brave and correct decision!”

David F.

“I decided to send Emma to FMCS because, I wanted her to grow up with a solid Christian foundation. I knew that at FMCS she would not only receive a great academic education, but also a great faith-based education as well. I loved my time at FMCS and know a lot of the staff from when I attended. Starting school this year is unlike any year before and I knew that I could trust FMCS to keep her safe and allow her to learn and grow while still having fun. I had no doubts that Emma would be in good hands and would be loved by all of the school personnel.”

“FMCS has been such a blessing to my daughter Amanda and her family. Our grand-daughter is flourishing there. Mrs. Rosie has such patience and a true love for what she does, positively affecting these children. Because Mrs. Rosie noticed my granddaughter has a gift for singing worship, she began singing lessons this year and just performed her first recital. Thank you for having Mrs. Rosie as a teacher there, she is such a blessing.”
