History

Faith Outreach Education Center began as a ministry of Faith Outreach Church for the purpose of educating children in Christian education. As an evangelistic and educational outreach of our church, Faith Outreach Education Center opened its door to the local community for the first time in the fall of 1979. The Pastor of Faith Outreach Church or his/her designee provides a spiritual oversight for the school and the church board is responsible for overseeing the financial matters.

Accreditation

FOEC is a member of the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI). However, we are not accredited by them. Please note that accreditation is not a factor considered by other private schools or public schools when a student transfers into that school. Nor is accreditation a factor in graduating high school seniors being accepted into a college or university. FEOC is a ministry of Faith Outreach Church. Although the church is an International Pentecostal Holiness Church, the school is a non-denominational Christian School. Our staff members come from a variety of churches.

Staff Requirements

  • Dedicated Christian teachers who follow Scriptural instructions and consider their positions a ministry for the Lord, not merely a job.
  • (Therefore, they often forgo larger salaries they could be earning in order for the school to keep its tuition rates low.)
    We expect all teachers to be an example of people passionate about Christ and prepared to fulfill their God-given destiny.
  • All teachers and staff of FOEC get both a criminal background check with the Virginia State Police and with the Department of Social Services.
  • All staff members are required to have a yearly physical to determine if they are capable of working with children.
  • They are required to get a yearly Pastoral Recommendation.
  • Our teachers are required to have a high school diploma.
  • Our teachers are trained in the ABeka curriculum by Pensacola Christian College.

Our Education Philosophy

Faith Outreach Education Center operates with a traditional philosophy toward education. By traditional education, we hold to the following procedures and ideals:

First, the teacher is in charge of the classroom, and they are responsible for providing a structured atmosphere in which students can learn. Each teacher has the authority to administer discipline, according to our processes. Teachers are to be servant-minded and professional in manner. We ask that parents and teachers collaborate to lead students in their spiritual and academic successes.

Next, our curriculum is Bible-centered. We teach spiritual truths, morality, and patriotism. Reading is taught by phonics, while math is taught traditionally. Drill work and memorization are incorporated as key tools in instruction, especially in elementary grades. Lastly, homework is assigned regularly and expected to be completed on time.

Character-Building Discipline

The Bible teaches that the goal for our youth is to see them "conformed to the image of His Son." We are dedicated to the goal of turning out young people with Christian character, self-discipline, and academics equipping them to go out into a lost world and lift up Jesus Christ without fear or apology.

Leadership

It is our desire to instill within students the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, to take the responsibility personally to do right and exercise initiative in leading others in the right direction. We believe that a great need of our nation and world today is well-trained Christian leaders.

Manners and Courtesies

Unconsciously practicing good manners and etiquette is our goal for students. Good manners and courtesy are the consideration for the rights and feelings of others and not drawing attention to oneself.
