Go

By 6th Grade graduation, our students have built a strong foundation grounded in faith and self-confidence. So they can go on to do great things wherever their future leads.

Learn

Our students learn to be “learners”. We engage them with thoughtful teaching styles and technology to spark curiosity and develop a personal conviction of academic excellence.

Grow

Our students grow into their full potential with leadership opportunities and the support of a tight-knit community. Every child sees the world differently, so we build our world around theirs.

Every lesson, activity and experience at FPDS is informed by our academic approach: Learn. Grow. Go.

First and foremost, our students LEARN to be learners. From the Innovation Lab to enrichment classes, our hands-on curriculum and thoughtful technology keep each child engaged and inspired. Our close-knit community of students, teachers and families support your child as they GROW in their faith and into stewardship and leadership. We teach your child to walk with Christ, so that no matter where they GO, they are equipped spiritually, emotionally and academically to be sure of themselves, make wise choices and do great work.

  • FPDS builds the foundation of a Christian education based on the infallibility of scripture. The school fulfills the mission of training a child up in the way of the Lord. My hope is that my children will build on these core values the rest of their lives.

    Mary Allyson Lowry, Parent

  • I am flooded with joy knowing that FPDS is anchored in truths that don't change: namely its unwavering commitment to the Bible and the Gospel of grace. Additionally, the history and generations of faithfulness, the outstanding quality and warmth of the faculty, the godly character of the leadership, and the intentional care we receive from the school community has made our time at the school a sweet mercy and delight.

    David Felker, Parent

  • When you have a child at FPDS there is peace in knowing that they are being loved and prayed for daily. Every one of their teachers and staff are rooting for their success. It's ok to mess up and try again. Grace is given, love is given, and academics are superior.
