The Academy
First Baptist Christian Academy
Principally Speaking
First Baptist Christian Academy offers education with excellence to students from age three through eighth grade.
Founded in 1984, the school operates within the facilities of First Baptist Church of Sierra Vista, Arizona, a community widely known for its beautiful mountain vistas and temperate high-desert climate. Located just twenty-five miles from the historic town of Tombstone, twenty-seven miles from Mexico, and adjacent to Fort Huachuca, Sierra Vista is home to a diverse population representing worldwide cultures.
Because of our excellent faculty and staff, the A Beka curriculum, and our central focus on Christ, the Academy offers the finest education available for our students. According to our mission statement, our purpose is "to provide a Christian learning environment in which the spiritual, academic, social, emotional, physical, and mental needs of each student are recognized and fulfilled."
Our faculty, staff, and administration are dedicated to providing a positive, safe, healthy, supportive Christian environment in which our students will develop a desire for lifelong learning and spiritual growth.
As principal, I encourage you to contact our school office or myself if you have any questions about our school. We would love to work with you as partners in your child's education.
