Computer Curriculum

The study of computers is essential, and Fellowship Christian School recognizes that technology is a powerful tool for learning. Computer education enables students to use the creative talents that God has given them to visualize their ideas and manipulate software while completing projects. Computer education is taught to all students in sixth through eighth grades. The ultimate purpose of our computer curriculum is to equip students with the technical skills needed to be prepared for high school and college.
