TEXTBOOKS
UNIFORMS
We believe a high standard of dress encourages greater respect for individuals, students and others, and results in a higher standard of behavior. That’s why we strive to hold true to our uniform guidelines, indicating appropriate school dress during normal school days for every student. More information on how to purchase uniforms from our new vendor, visit the link below.
UNIFORM VENDOR
Our official school vendor is now All Uniform Wear. Uniforms can be purchased online and in-store at the 18705 South Dixie Hwy, Miami, FL 33157 location only.

PRE/ELEMENTARY
5th GRADE ELECTIVE SELECTION
For the 2023-2024 school year, 4th Grade students will be able to choose from 3 available elective options for their upcoming 5th grade year: Art, Band, & Engineering/Robotics! Below are a few reminders concerning the elective options and process. Once you are ready, click on the link below to access and complete the 'Elective Selection Form'.
- They (you as the parent) will need to select a first and second choice option.
- Elective classes are held each school day (5 days a week) for 50 minutes each session.
- PLEASE NOTE: New incoming students selecting Art as their first choice elective will need to send a digital portfolio of the students' art work via email to Mrs. Blanco, the Elementary Principal, at c.blanco@floridachristian.org by Friday, May 5, 2023. The portfolio should consist of a minimum of 5 pieces of art created by the student they are most proud of.

So, what are you waiting for? Buy early and save!
