Teaching Approach

Updated 8mo ago

Fairfax Christian School describes its approach as “creating scholars” by building practical knowledge and literacy in core foundations (e.g., mathematics, language, science, history, economics, religion, and the arts) while helping students pursue their academic passions. The school emphasizes high academic standards in a safe, motivating environment that develops respect and wisdom, enlivens creativity, and builds a foundational capacity to seek Truth, grounded in its Christian (Reformed) faith commitments.

Admissions

Updated 8mo ago

Fairfax Christian School asks families to start by scheduling an in-person campus tour (available Monday–Friday by appointment) or, if not local, an admissions consultation (Zoom/WeChat/phone) before being encouraged to apply. (fairfax-christian-school.com) Applications are submitted through an online portal (create an account) with a non-refundable $100 fee, and applicants should provide the past two years of report cards/transcripts plus any additional educational documents needed for evaluation (e.g., IEP/504/neuroeducational testing); the school may also request additional testing, school information, and student/parent interviews (high school interview required if no in-person tour/shadow day). (fairfax-christian-school.com) Key timing appears to be rolling/space-available review (applications reviewed as received; rolling admissions is stated for international applicants), and the school advertises an Open House on Tuesday, February 10 (9:00–10:30 AM) for 2026–2027 enrollment questions. (fairfax-christian-school.com) If accepted, families receive an acceptance email and must complete a registration agreement and pay an enrollment fee to secure the seat; a Virginia School Entrance Health Form is required before classes begin, and financial-aid applicants beyond partial scholarships apply via the FACTS Grant and Aid program. (fairfax-christian-school.com) The website does not describe a formal waitlist or any explicit priority categories (e.g., siblings/staff), beyond indicating limited availability and review/processing as materials are received.
