General Admissions

First Baptist School is a co-educational private Christian school dedicated to scholastic excellence and spiritual growth. It serves qualified students in three-year-old pre-school through the 8th grade. Our policy on admissions attempts to reflect the philosophy of our school. Each applicant is asked to visit and observe our school. We endeavor to enroll students who will exhibit the biblical values of showing care and concern for others in our school community as well as a demonstration of enthusiasm for the learning process. Students seeking admission are evaluated on the basis of their academic records, references, admission questionnaires, interviews and potential to perform satisfactorily at First Baptist School.
