A UNIQUE VISION

The vision of FCE is to create a community where higher education is attainable. By engaging both students and parents in our work, we aim to create a community of learners who are armed with the right tools and information. Together, they play a pivotal role in sharing this information with other families about how best to take advantage of school resources and navigate the college admissions process, thus catalyzing change in the larger community.


CORE VALUES

At FCE, four core values define the ways we empower our students to reach their full potential

High Expectations: We encourage our students to move beyond standard grade-level performance and pursue college preparatory and advanced levels to ensure they are prepared to attend our nation’s competitive colleges.
Family and Community Engagement: We believe that meaningful family and community engagement is key to student success
Measurable Results: We measure our success by the number of students who graduate from college. Intermediate measures include the number of college prep classes taken, GPA, and percentage of college admissions.
College Graduation: At FCE, college acceptance is only a first step; a college degree is critical to our students’ economic and social mobility.
