Ministry Update: Fountain of Life Christian School (Dominican Republic)

Fountain of Life Christian School serves approximately 500 students throughout its elementary and high school programs, providing Christ-centered education to hundreds of families in Juan Tomas. About two-thirds of students have sponsorships, which provide critical funding for faculty salaries. After raising tuition slightly in recent years to address fiscal needs, enrollment temporarily dropped to just over 300 students, but has recovered to about 500, demonstrating the school’s strong reputation and community trust despite economic challenges.

Students at FLCS receive biblical instruction throughout their education, learning not only core academic subjects but also how to apply God’s Word to every area of life. Through daily Bible classes, chapel services, and intentional mentorship, teachers and staff pour into their students’ lives, sharing the gospel’s life-changing message. This integrated approach ensures that faith development is not an add-on but the foundation of everything students learn.

The school has been instrumental in leading many students and their families to faith in Christ over the years. FLCS serves as a beacon in the community, drawing families into the fellowship of the local church. Many parents who initially enroll children for academic reasons encounter the gospel through school events, parent meetings, and relationships with Christian staff, resulting in family-wide transformations.
