First Baptist Academy believes that a Christian’s call to steward truth requires the continual search for knowledge, understanding, and wisdom in all areas of academics. We desire to instill in our students a desire for life-long learning, the skills to conduct inquiry and research, the ability to think both biblically and critically, and the skill to communicate effectively. While we hope all our students make high marks in their academic work, we especially honor a student’s perseverance to learn according to the best of their ability.
As of Fall 2026, First Baptist Academy is providing two Kindergarten classes and two First Grade classes, and one Second Grade class, but we're not stopping there! Our plan is to keep growing and add more grades up to at least 5th grade, with the potential for further expansion.
