First Baptist School

Posted: April 11, 2018

My son is about to begin his third year at First Baptist School, and my daughter will be starting her first year in the Pre-K 2 program in the upcoming fall semester. We have been immensely impressed from day one with everything FBS has to offer, from the loving, nurturing environment to the academic and biblical curriculum.

My son is in Pre-K this year, and he can already read and spell simple words and combine phonemes, and he is able to do simple mental addition and subtraction. He can also count beyond 20 at only four years old, and he loves to read and write on his own, which tells me that his teachers have helped him develop an intrinsic love of learning. As a public school teacher myself, I can't express how important that is. They've made learning fun for him, and he values knowledge and understanding, and every day he tells his sister that she needs to come to his school because it is so much fun and she will learn so much.

We were very sad to learn that they did away with the 1-5 grade level program for the upcoming school year, but I am sure that times will change again and eventually it will be re-opened.

My husband went to school here, and his mother used to teach here years ago and was on the board of directors for many years thereafter, so our family has a ton of pride and faith in FBS. If you're looking for a school that will both nurture and teach your child while fostering a sense of wonder and interest in learning of all sorts, look into the Little Lambs Pre-K 2 & Pre-K 3 Programs, and the Pre-K and Kinder programs at FBS; hopefully, we can spread the word about how wonderful this school is so that the upper grades may begin enrolling again in the coming years.

As a parent of a student at FBS I would without reservation recommend the school both for its academics as well as its spiritual experience. The teachers are knowledgeable and loving from PreSchool all the way through Middle School. You can tell that they have the child's best intrested in mind and are there to help the children grow in their understanding in all academic areas. The administration is tops and very involved in the day to day of the school. Their afterschool program is awesome and gives parents a piece of mind that their child is taken care of throughout the day (7 am to 6 pm). If you are looking for a school that is inviting, welcoming and challenging stop by FBS and experience all the wonderful things that this school has to offer.
