In 1986, with the vision to provide Christian education for families in the Acadiana area, First Baptist Church opened First Baptist Christian School. Now, years later, FBCS is a Cognia accredited school, State Approved, and a member school of ACSI and NACS with Grades preK3 through 12. FBCS provides Biblical integration in all subjects taught. Core courses include Bible, English, math, science, and history. Other courses offered are music, art, library, Spanish, journalism, PE, along with private music lessons in voice, piano, guitar, and violin. Our Fine Arts Department offers choir, handbells, and other opportunities for students to perform. FBCS provides college prep courses and TOPS requirements in high school. Our curriculum includes Christian publishers ABEKA and BJU Press. Technological advances with Promethean Boards and Chromebooks available make learning more interactive, interesting, and fun. FBCS administers Iowa Tests, preACT, PSAT, and ASVAB to students and encourages all high school students to take the ACT. FBCS has a growing athletic program including football, volleyball, basketball, cross country, baseball, golf, and track. Our students participate in academic competitions such as District and State Literary Rallies, Math Olympics, Speech Meet, Creative Writing Contest, and Art Fest. With dedicated teachers, FBCS is committed to partnering with parents to equip students to reach their full potential by providing academic excellence in a Christian environment. We are “declaring God’s power to the next generation, and His mighty acts to all who are to come. “ (Psalm 71:18)
