In the second chapter of the book of Revelation, God tells John to write to the angel of the church in Ephesus, “I know your deeds, your hard work, and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked men.” Then, however, the final truth is revealed in Revelation 2:4, “Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love.”

NOTE: The address in the video does not reflect the current address of the school. We are currently located at 31 East Chestnut Street, Suite 302, Washington, PA 15301.


What Your Child Needs

If you are concerned about the attributes your child needs to possess to be enrolled in FLCA, ask the following questions:

    1. Does my child have the desire to know Jesus Christ?
    2. Does my child have the basic arithmetic skills?
    3. Does my child have the basic writing skills?
    4. Is my child willing to do his/her academic best?
    5. Am I willing to encourage my child to do his/her best?

If you answered yes to the above questions, then your child could be accepted into the Academy. If you are concerned about the academic areas, we will be administering placement tests in arithmetic and writing to identify any weaknesses, and the child will be given the opportunity to receive help in these areas to assure a smooth start.
