ABOUT
FIRST BAPTIST ACADEMY
WE ARE FAMILY. WE ARE FBA!
Have you ever wondered if there’s a better way to do school? A way to educate that puts children’s cognitive, emotional, social, and spiritual needs at the forefront? A way that challenges students academically, fosters them spiritually, and guides them to discover their God-given purpose and abilities? Well, over two decades ago, families wondered the same thing — and First Baptist Academy was born.
Located in Naples, FL, FBA combines academic excellence with an authentic Christian education for students in preschool K3 through 12th grade, with the goal of helping children grow into their full potential in Christ. This is school; the way it should be.
EDUCATING THROUGH CARE, COMMITMENT AND CREATIVITY
At First Baptist Academy, we are a family. We strive daily to create an atmosphere of love, encouragement and self-discipline that provides a fertile environment for children of all ages to grow academically, spiritually, socially and physically. We focus on right relationships to God, self, others and His creation in our preparation of the next generation to lead the Kingdom of God.
On the path to success, your child deserves uncommon opportunities. We cherish our chance to partner with you in guiding their educational journey. Their future begins today.
FIRST BAPTIST ACADEMY, WE KNOW YOU BY NAME
From Pre-K to 12th grade, each student is encouraged to reach their fullest potential. Through care, commitment, and creativity, we equip students for life, learning, and leadership. We believe it’s our individualized approach that makes all the difference.
