Purpose

The purpose of Freedom Baptist Academy is to educate and train the whole student: spiritually, intellectually, physically, and socially. FBA desires to send out into the world young people who will be lights in the spiritual darkness.

Mission

The mission of Freedom Baptist Academy is to assist parents in educating and equipping their students to develop a heart for God, to cultivate a sound biblical worldview, and to prepare students to positively impact this world for Jesus Christ.

Admission Policy

Freedom Baptist Academy is not a corrective institution; consequently, children should not be enrolled with the idea that we will reform them. We are here to work with the home, but not to take the place of parents who have experienced difficulty in fulfilling their roles.

Procedure for New Students

A. Application-Each student will need to complete the Enrollment Packet and return to the office with the student’s transcript, immunization records, and copy of his/her birth certificate.

B. Interview-The office will then contact you for an interview with the administration. In this interview the school’s structure, code of conduct, educational philosophy, financial aid and academics will be discussed.

C. Final Acceptance-Registration of the student will then be finalized when a non-refundable fee is accepted.

Re-Enrollment

Each year every student will need to re-enroll for the next school year. For your convenience re-enrollment forms will be sent home in the spring. Once the forms are returned to the office with a non-refundable registration fee the student will then be enrolled for the next school year.
