To attend FCA your child will be required to become indoctrinate into their religious beliefs and thinking. I would think long and hard unless you are comfortable with your money and education for your child with the Swaggart's.

Family Christian is practically a cult. If you want to get a glimpse of the culture, go to church there one Sunday to see for yourself. It's a hell and damnations church.

I admit I don't know much about the culture or specific beliefs. That's part of the reason I am asking. We would love a spiritual aspect to our children's education (but still want quality education) but it would need to be in line with our beliefs too, so thank you for that insight.

We aren't in Dutchtown or St. Amant zones. The one we are zoned for is ranked 7/10 on Great Schools ratings. I realize scores aren't everything, but that is what is prompting us to look at all the options.

But the cost of private is sooo high so public is definitely appealing. I'm just a nervous mommy and don't want my kids to grow up. :wah: Thanks for the insights.

If you're in Ascension save money and send your kids there. Particularly Dutchtown or St Amant. That's the whole point of living in Ascension.

If you have a couple kids you'd be wasting over 100k dollars sending them to a private school. I went to multiple private schools as a student and now as an adult I teach in Ascension. I'd recommend Ascension over the schools you mentioned even without factoring in cost. Factoring in cost it is a no brainer.

This is the answer. I went to private schools all the way from K-12th and then to LSU. My kids go to private catholic schools now and it's great and all, but we're parishioners. We live in BR because we work here... but if I'd have made the switch to Ascension back in the day, I'd be vested in their schools. Dutchtown/St Amant are the easy solution. If you try now to get your kids in a Christian school in BR, it's gonna be a pain in the arse traffic-wise, budget-wise... everything.

You're already in God's country. I'd stay there. Get involved in your local schools and your kids' homework and enjoy the money you're saving.

Ha! I know. I'm not creative. I don't usually post here. My husband does, so I thought I would try it out to get some opinions. Thanks!

Thoughts on Family Christian Academy?

Posted by username123456789 on 2/7/17 at 1:34 pm

Looking into elementary schools. Our kids are still young but we are thinking ahead. Any thoughts on Family Christian Academy elementary grades (like K-5th)? It's a cheaper private option than Dunham or Parkview. We are considering public too since we are in Ascension. We are not Catholic, but would consider Catholic schools, but it might be to hard to get in.

My husband posts here, and I was just looking for some extra opinions outside facebook.
