FBCA Philosophy of Education

First Baptist Christian Academy exists to glorify God, the Father, His Son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. Towards this end, we utilize a Christ-centered curriculum. Our philosophy is guided by the truths of Scripture that teach us we were created by God and for God. When a person commits his life to the Lordship of Jesus Christ, then he is a new creation with a spiritual dimension added to his life.

We are a Christian academy, bound to the First Baptist Church doctrines and beliefs. Our aim is to provide a Christian perspective from which will come a godly understanding of a person's role in life at home, at work, at play, and in worship.

This Christian perspective is the foundation for all our classes, and we will promote high academic standards while helping the students achieve skill in creative and critical thinking. Our philosophy dictates that we cooperate closely with parents in every area of the student's development. Our goals are not just for academic excellence in each classroom, but also for spiritual maturity in the lives of our student, teachers, and all who are connected to FBCA.
