The mission of First Baptist Christian Academy is to honor the Lord Jesus Christ by providing students an education based upon academic excellence with a biblical worldview.

FBCA accepts families of all faiths.  First Baptist Christian Academy is an extension of an evangelistic, Bible teaching church. The school seeks to assist parents who desire a Christian education for their children. One of the goals of the school is that each child come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and to develop a living relationship with Jesus. Therefore, it is important that parents who wish to enroll their child understand and agree with this goal.

First Baptist Christian Academy is fully accredited by the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) and Accreditation Commission of the Texas Association of Baptist Schools (ACTABS).  FBCA is a member of the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools (TAPPS) and the Texas Private School Association (TPSA).

The Truths of God’s Holy Word are woven into every class at every level at FBCA, not just in chapel and Bible class. All subjects reveal something about God, creation, mankind, moral order and purpose. FBCA examines the truths of these big ideas through biblical integration.

First Baptist Christian Academy believes that quality education includes the opportunity to participate in athletic programs. The athletic program is extracurricular only in the sense that student involvement is a voluntary privilege and requires an investment of considerable time outside the school day. Therefore, with these opportunities available, students are expected to represent the school as a part of the Christian community with exemplary behavior wherever they go, as the public will take notice.

First Baptist Christian Academy does not have an organized special education program due to the lack of proper facilities for this need, adequately trained personnel, and the lack of funds necessary to provide this type of specialized education.  It is our policy not to accept students needing this type of education since we cannot meet their needs. FBCA will work with students who may require speech therapy provided by the local school district.

Yes. Students are required to wear school appointed uniforms daily.  Friday is spirit day and students may wear a school spirit shirt with jeans.  Refer to the dress code section for more details.
