Welcome Back!
“For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” – Matthew 18:20
As we embark on another school year, may we always find joy and comfort in these words from Matthew’s gospel. (New students, mentors, faculty, and staff kicked off the Fall 2025 semester at FST’s new student orientation pictured above).
Please keep in mind that tuition, either in full or the first payment, is due no later than the first day of class. For a fuller description of FST’s financial services, click here.
