It has been a great experience! It is a small 1A school so there are limited resources in the sense of the lack of money to create a multitude of options. However, the resources that they do have a quality and I enjoy my time here a lot.

The best part about First Baptist Academy is that it prepares you for college with all the college-level classes and standards. The worst aspect of this school for me is all the homework that piles up if I miss just 2 days of school which is absurd because you shouldn't be judged on the merit of whether you did your work it should be if the work was quality so I dislike it when teachers give students busy work( work to just put a grade in the grade book).

A loving faculty and excellent curriculum. Peace of mind knowing that my children are being taught from the word of God.

I have taught at this school for more than 20 years and have found it to be an authentic Christian school that teaches the students about God's Word and how much He loves them and wants them to follow Him throughout their lives. The curriculum is challenging and above grade level, but accommodations...
