Fredericton Christian Academy: a small school with close support in New Brunswick
Fredericton Christian Academy (FCA) is a private Christian school running Kindergarten to Grade 12 in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada, with more than 48 years of operation.
Its defining feature is not size or ranking but density of care: classes of roughly 18–24 students (per information the school supplied to M2W), a small community, and a package for international students that comes with accommodation attached.
What the international fee already covers
This is where FCA differs from many schools: ESL, textbooks and medical insurance sit inside the international tuition package — not billed as separate add-ons.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Application fee (with the application) | CAD 200 |
| International tuition (ESL included) | contact M2W |
| Homestay | contact M2W |
The school does not publish tuition and homestay figures in M2W's system, so M2W requests the current schedule per application rather than quoting an "indicative" number.
Accommodation and guardianship: homestay, not boarding
FCA is not a boarding school. International students live in homestay — with a local family — and the school provides guardianship support alongside it. For a student under 18 travelling alone, those two things are non-negotiable, and here they come through a single point of contact.
Two intakes, and two short ways to try first
The full-time programme has two main intakes: the September–January semester and the February–June semester.
Families who want a trial first have two short options:
- Short-term ESL — 1 to 8 weeks on campus, with homestay depending on the session.
- Summer ESL Camp — a short summer ESL programme on campus.
Ages, sessions and fees for both are confirmed per intake.
Moving on: dual-credit with the University of New Brunswick
Per documents the school supplied to M2W, FCA offers University Now / dual-credit opportunities with the University of New Brunswick — secondary students earning university credit early. M2W reports this as the school states it; specific eligibility is confirmed each academic year.
Who Fredericton Christian Academy suits
- Families who want a small, closely supervised environment rather than a large school.
- Students who need ESL but not a separate language course elsewhere first.
- Families who need homestay with guardianship handled through the school.
- Families who want a Christian educational environment.
If boarding or a large city is the priority, see other options in Canada on M2W Edu.
