Family and consumer science

Family and Consumer Science (FCS) is a field of study that helps people learn how to be happy, healthy and successful at home, work, and in their communities. In FCS classes, students learn how to make good decisions about how to spend their time, money and energy. They learn about nutrition, parenting, child development and relationships. They also learn about clothing and textile care, design, and personal development. By learning skills and knowledge from FCS, students can make better choices in all aspects of their lives.
