Welcome

We appreciate your interest in First Baptist Academy.

Our faculty and staff are committed to providing a college preparatory curriculum in a nurturing Christian environment. During their years at FBA, students are equipped to be leaders and critical thinkers who are grounded in the Truth of God's Word.

On this website, you will begin to discover what FBA has to offer your child. I invite you to explore these pages, take notes, and contact us with any questions you might have. We are here to provide answers and guide you along the way as you consider becoming a part of the FBA family.

As Proverbs 22:6 says, "Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it." I pray that God will lead you as you make this important decision about your child's education and future success.

All His best,
