At FASD, we are a community dedicated to nurturing young Christian communicators. For over two decades, we have been inspired by the mission of the National Christian Forensics and Communications Association (NCFCA). Our focus is to help students develop critical thinking and effective communication skills from a biblical worldview, all to glorify God.

About us
For over 2 decades, FASD has been dedicated to fostering excellence in communications among Christian students in and around the Fredericksburg, Virginia area.
Our achievements include numerous regional and national awards earned by our students. Many of our alumni have gone on to compete at the university level, equipped with the skills gained from their experiences at FASD.
In addition to competitive success, all of our students show remarkable improvement in writing, speaking, and overall confidence.
