Preparing Leaders for the Path Ahead
It sometimes seems like you blinked and most of middle school was gone. Now, you have a teenager who is preparing for high school and all that life has in store for the future.
And while they may be taller than you, they still need you and your guidance. They still need to know that they won’t have to sit alone at the lunch table and that they will have the chance to stand out on the school’s stage or on the court. They still need a high school that challenges them academically and supports them as they grow into the person God wants them to be.
Our private Christian high school welcomes you to learn more about how we partner with parents to build every teen’s confidence and leadership skills, strengthen their friendships, and encourage their academic and spiritual maturity.
Below, you’ll find a brief overview of what our private Christian high school offers, including:
We’re here for you.
If you have any questions, please reach out to a member of our admissions team.
Pathways to Success
You know not all students have the same interests and goals — and so do we. That’s why we offer three pathways that allow you and your teen to select an academic approach tailored to their long-term goals.
Career Pathway
The Career Pathway prepares students to enter the workforce in the local economy in various occupations. Students are also prepared to pursue continuing education.
College-Prep Pathway
The College Prep Pathway is a rigorous academic program that prepares students to pursue trade school and/or associate degree programs as well as pursue admission to four-year competitive universities.
Advanced College-Prep Pathway
The Advanced College Prep Pathway is a highly rigorous academic program that prepares students to pursue admission to highly competitive universities leading to a bachelor’s degree or fast track to obtain a master’s degree in five years.
Academic Offerings
Besides daily Bible classes and weekly chapel, our students meet once a month in Impact Groups, where they discuss topics from a biblical perspective and take time to pray together. Plus, they use this time for discipleship and to build and strengthen friendships that last for years.
Character-Building Athletics
Teachers meet students where they are academically and emotionally. They are intentional in building relationships and mentoring students.
The Student Leadership Academy
It’s easy to notice when someone’s character needs improving, but we strive to notice and highlight the good. Our program “Caught Making a Good Decision” allows us to recognize and reinforce things like integrity, patience, grace, and helpfulness.

Guiding the Way
Talented, Compassionate Teachers and Counselors
When your teen has questions — about today or about the future — our Christian teachers and counselors are there to help. We see students meeting with teachers before and after school. Talking via email. Chatting at school club meetings and at athletic events.
Our staff members are there for them.
In 9th grade, our counselors start meeting with each class to help prepare them for college and career options. Then, they offer 1:1 meetings with students and parents as they begin to prepare for standardized tests, campus tours, and more. We invite college and military representatives to our campus, and we pray with and for your teen.
All of that guidance and preparation pays off. We’ve had graduates attend some of the top schools in the nation, including:
A School Culture Focused on Christ
Your teen’s spiritual development is just as important to us as their academic and emotional progress. And we have high standards for all three.
Here’s some of what we expect of our students:
Spiritually
- Trust Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior
- Articulate and apply a biblical worldview
- Exhibit servant leadership
- Exemplify the fruit of the spirit
Academically
- Master the content and the skills necessary for post-high school success
- Pursue solutions to complex problems
- Seek to learn and grow intellectually
Emotionally
- Demonstrate resilience
- Assume responsibility for attitudes and actions
- Effectively communicate and collaborate
Creating a Safe Place to Learn and Grow
We take all of the modern safety precautions, including a full-time, on-site security officer. Plus, our Christ-centered culture helps make SFCA a safe place socially and emotionally.
Our K-12 campus is set on 115 peaceful acres in Fort Myers, FL, and the high school program has its own section where students attend core classes.
Is SFCA the right path for your teen?
One of the best ways to know how well a school fits with your family is to schedule an in-person tour. Come look around our campus and meet the students who are already thriving here. We’d love the chance to get to know you.
