FLCS was formed in 1991, and is housed in the Calvary Chapel (then 1st Baptist Church) building, where Sunday School classes were typically held. The school was primarily a single hallway with classrooms, with the southern part of the building ending in the Church, which also served as a gymnasium and cafeteria. The northern end of the building contained additional classrooms, the main office, and a small chapel. In 2001, construction began on an eastern wing, taking out the library and old kitchen, which housed junior high classrooms and a new cafeteria. A regular sized gymnasium was added to the northern wing of the building for athletics and physical education classes. The southern sanctuary serves as a full-time church.
