I am a student enrolled at FPD.I have been going to FPD for 11 years and my brother attended FPD for 14 years. While going to a Christian School you grow in faith, but going to FPD you feel sheltered. We are not taught the reality of the world. The teachers are great here and really care about how you

There are tons of sports and it is a big part of our school (especially fpd vs stratfords game). I enjoy all the afterschool activities they offer at my school. I say the only downside is the food. SAGE food they serve at school isn't that great and the lunch people are Nazi's about having your lunch pass and cleaning up your table. Read less

As both a parent and a graduate I think I can say that at the present FPDS may be reaching a zenith of academic and athletic achievement. However, I think it really may only be reaching a point where even more great things are in store.

I attended FPD in high school, and graduated in 1997. Throughout my time, I was extremely impressed by the level of education, and the commitment to providing an education based on the Truth found in the Bible. I also believe that the quality of education I received from FPD was exemplary. I went

I now have a daughter enrolled in the Pre-K program at FPD, and my wife and I have been even more impressed with the improvements that have been made since I left. The facilities are exceptional, and the resources available to students are incredible. Your child will receive the highest quality of academic instruction available, and will also benefit from a curriculum centered around the Bible. I fully intend to contimue entrusting the education and preparation of my daughter, and any future children we may have, to this excellent school. Read less

I attended this highschool when it was going through a considerable about of turnover in the headmaster area after Mr. Middlebrooks left. The few teachers that I know that are left are wonderful, alot of teachers got run off by the adminstrative turn over. I don't know if I would send my children to

Read more FPD or not, there's a lot of 'real world values' that you do not get at this school, and I can honestly say I have had next to little need for the 6 years of bible courses I had to take, which mainly taught the same thing every year. I think they should expand so students can take classes that will be more helpful in life than the bible courses, I could've benefited from more language choices and more science and math choices in place of that bible course which taught the same things as the one I took in 7th grade.
