About FCCS
Foothills Community Christian School is a group of committed Christian parents with a common goal of providing a quality Christian education for the children of Great Falls and north central Montana. The school was organized in 1996, to address the need for community-based Christian education. The school is non-denominational, and opened its doors in September 1997 with pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. The high school began in 2000 and grew to a full 9th – 12th grade high school in 2004, which was accredited in 2005. The school currently operates under a member nominated board of directors.
Our academic excellence is evident in above average testing scores and a high percentage of high school graduates attending college. Many of our students are involved in Bible clubs, teaching younger children through Bible studies and continue to make a difference in our community and world through their outstanding moral character. Our service to others is apparent in the many hours Foothills’ students volunteer by serving lunch at the Rescue Mission or picking up trash in the ditches through the Adopt-A-Highway program. Our Junior High and High School students volunteer over 80 hours each year at the Rescue Mission.
We continue to change lives and build leaders at Foothills Community Christian School. We thank each family who has entrusted their children to this school. The Board of Directors, administration, faculty and staff are committed to provide a Christian educational experience that seeks to fulfill our Mission Statement.

- We believe there is only one God, eternally existent in three persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:1, Matthew 28:19)
