Faith Baptist Academy
Faith Baptist Schools' Private School Satellite Program (PSP)
We are
excited about the opportunity to serve
the educational needs of the friends and family of Faith Baptist Church and
Faith Baptist Schools.
Faith
Baptist Schools has developed a ministry to families who choose to educate
their children at home. This ministry is
called Faith Baptist Academy. It allows
a student to work under the supervision of a recognized school toward a
non-accredited diploma from Faith Baptist Academy.
We believe that successful home schooling includes regular evaluation and accountability with others. Curriculum progress review meetings will be arranged with Dana Steadman, the home school coordinator, at least two times yearly with each home school family. During these review meetings, each parent must present a portfolio for each child enrolled. Faith Baptist does NOT provide home school curriculum.
General information about the Faith Baptist Academy is listed below.
