We want our high school students to develop self-confidence and take risks as they learn to think for themselves. Our approach is to guide and instruct the students as they explore academic subjects and build a strong foundation for their coming years in a college classroom and in the workplace.

Courses are taught at the college preparatory level and are designed to give FPS students exposure to a variety of world views and paradigms. Rather than telling our high school students what to know and what to think, we mentor and guide our students as they learn how to think and how to acquire knowledge.

At FPS, we believe it is essential to educate the whole student in order to inspire hope and change lives. Our society is changing on a daily basis, and it is our intent that our students graduate with knowledge of the world as much as their academic skills. Students are encouraged to improve in every facet of education, from academics to any of our enrichment activities.

To be successful in high school, ensure that your student does the following:
● Attend class every day—Be in all classes every day! Studies show us that students perform better when they are actively engaged in instruction.
● Bring all materials to class—Always be prepared and take proper materials with you to class.
● Complete work on time—Keep up with all assignments and turn in projects.
● Demonstrate personal organizational skills, such as record keeping, time-management, homework habits, note-taking skills, and listening skills.
● Review all materials thoroughly as you prepare for an assessment or project.
