ACADEMIC INFORMATION

Kindergarten and Elementary

Reading readiness, Bible memorization, and math readiness are some of the skills learned in the kindergarten class.  The total reading program is based upon a phonics approach.  The elementary program is designed to develop learning skills in all subject areas, including daily instruction in Bible.

All students are required to have a King James Bible.  Participation in the regular chapel program is a part of curriculum.

Promotions 

In kindergarten through sixth grade, a student’s report card will contain a notation as to whether the student has been promoted or retained.  Seventh and eighth graders do not accumulate high school credits, although the high school report card form is used.  Advancement in the seventh and eighth grades will be based on grades in individual subjects.  If a seventh or eighth grade student receives an "F" as a final grade in any two of the following subjects, they will be required to repeat the grade:  English, Mathematics, Science, History, or Bible.  At the high school level, a student will continue to advance to the next grade, but the credits he earns will determine his actual grade level.

Requirements of High School Graduation

Fellowship Baptist Academy requires the successful completion of the following program.  To graduate from FBA, a student must accumulate twenty-three credits during the ninth through twelfth grades.

All students in grades seven through twelve must follow the course of study recommended to them by the Administration.  This is to insure that each student will be effectively trained academically while at FBA.  Following recommended courses of study will also eliminate the problem of meeting graduation requirements during the senior year.
