• Full High School Experience

  FBEC is a totally unique high school experience! With other programs, if students want to get ahead, they must choose to give up all the special and unique things about high school. But we believe that high school is a once in a lifetime experience, with invaluable opportunities to build relationships, learn important life skills, and grow emotionally and spiritually. We say, don't give up high school just to get ahead!
  
  FBEC students will enjoy a fully enriched campus life experience with every other Faith Bible High School student. They can continue to be part of the activities they love and try new ones, too! They will have full access to sports, drama, choir, student leadership, worship team, ministry team, school dances, and everything else so unique to this time in life.
