Philosophy
First Baptist Academy partners with parents and the church to provide quality Christian education from a Biblical worldview.
The First Baptist Academy incorporates a centuries-proven approach to learning commonly called Classical. This approach not only teaches the particular subjects, but develops a love for learning and thinking—enabling each student to express what has been taught. Classical education strives to appreciate the wisdom inherent in the way our Christian forefathers educated their children. As they did, we recognize that “all truth is God’s truth,” and is necessary as we seek to follow Him. Since Jesus Christ is not separate from any area of life, all coursework is centered on Christ, and students are brought face to face with Him in all studies and activities.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, so at the heart of Christian philosophy of education is the acknowledgement that God created all things, and that they exist by His Power and for His pleasure. Furthermore, we exist to see each student become a wholly-surrendered disciple, who allows Christ to live through them.
Core Values
• Truth – Scripture is the revealed Word of God and is taught as truth, and that truth is integrated into the learning experience.
• Operations – Moral integrity is at the heart of the school’s day-to-day operational practices and the entire staff will strive to provide a consistent model for efficiency and accountability.
• Potential – Every learning experience aims to engage students toward their full potential in Christ.
• Biblical Integration – The Christian mind should be the best mind, enlightened by the mind of Christ and having integrated God’s principles with academic pursuits. The aim is to develop academically prepared students who hold to a biblical worldview.
• Christian Personnel – First Baptist Academy must have a board, administration, faculty, and staff who are committed followers of Christ, teaching and leading from a biblical perspective, always making themselves available to be used by the Holy Spirit for the edification of students and colleagues.
