First Baptist Academy
First Baptist Academy is a Christian day school that offers grades Kindergarten through Grade 12.
At First Baptist Academy, we believe a solid Biblical academic foundation can make a positive difference for the rest of a student’s life. We believe that the support and guidance of caring instructors play an important role in giving the confidence he or she will need for successful Christian living.
The ministry of First Baptist Academy began in 1981 with a vision for a Christ-centered education opportunity. Recognizing the eternal value of each student, we wanted an educational alternative that was spiritually sound from its foundation. The divine prerequisite that students build a right relationship with God and parents. A strong emphasis was added to the development of positive character traits along with self-discipline in every area of life. The final goal, academic performance was usually achieved when the other priorities were in order.
Balanced leadership is provided by our Principal, Mr. Kirk Piccott. Mr. Piccott, as well as all teachers, are Bible College trained. As an integrated ministry of First Baptist Church, we enjoy a ministry based on obedience to the Scriptures. Our administration and teachers have dedication and sincerity regarding their work. This comes as a result of viewing teaching as a God-given gift and ministry. We currently offer Kindergarten through Grade 12, with an average of 30 students per year.
Our primary curriculum sources are A Beka Books, Accelerated Christian Education and Saxon Math.
