FBA Traditions
Houston First Baptist Academy's one-of-a-kind Traditions foster learning, growth, inquisitiveness and fun. Each grade has its own special traditions that students look forward to each year. From kindergarten's Farm Field Day to fourth grade's hurricane tracking project, to eighth grade's Washington , D.C. historical trip, there is never a dull moment at FBA. Traditions are woven into the regular curriculum to enhance learning activities. Students are intellectually and spiritually challenged with activities like researching heroes from the Bible, or living a day as Jesus would have lived it as a boy. Tradition activities also comprise many Science, Math, Fine Arts and English projects.
