Student life

At Buckner Fanning Christian School, we are dedicated to educating the whole child. Not only do our students excel academically, but socially, spiritually and physically as well. We strive to help our students learn to love and love to learn.

BFCS is an interdenominational Christian school that focuses on sharing the unconditional love and grace of God while offering an exceptional and challenging academic program. We instruct our students not only in the basic three R's of reading, writing and arithmetic; but also in the three R's for a joyful and productive life: Reverence for God and all of His creation, Respect for one's self and one's fellow man, and Responsibility for contributing to making the world a better place.

UIW Brainpower Connection

BFCS graduates who complete the 8th grade with a B average or better (minimum 3.0 GPA) will be awarded annual $2,500 scholarships to one of UIW’s two Brainpower Connection high schools as well as UIW. This scholarship is independent of any additional scholarships the student may receive. Read more
