Academics

The desire of First Baptist Academy is to help children become confident, independent learners who

1) develop in Godly character,
2) are able to solve real-life problems,
3) work cooperatively with others,
4) develop unique personal talents,
5) fulfill God-given ambitions.

Every teacher—by emphasizing a child-centered, integrated learning approach—is encouraged to actively engage the students in developing concepts, skills, and creativity. Recognizing differing teaching styles, differing personality strengths, and that there are many effective approaches to teaching, considerable latitude is given to teachers in the manner of delivery of the material. Teachers must collaborate as a team, with each member of the team bringing unique perspectives and strengths to the table, where creative approaches to teaching and learning can be discussed and evaluated. Curriculum is consistently being reviewed by a committee comprised of parents, board members and administrators.
