An Academic Focus – A Christian Foundation
Purpose:
The purpose of Grace Baptist Academy is to assist families in providing a sound
education for their children through the integration of faith and learning. GBA is
committed to teaching a Biblical worldview throughout the development of basic
spiritual, intellectual, physical and social skills.
Assisting Parents:
GBA endeavors to function as an extension of the home, supporting parents in the
Biblical mandate giving them ultimate responsibility for the education of their children.
Faculty and staff assist families in their knowledge and understanding of the Lordship
of Jesus Christ as revealed in the Scripture and common commitment to the work of
education. In order to serve these families with Biblical instruction and Godly
examples, the school employs administrators, faculty and staff who are active in a
Bible-believing local church, serve as a role model in their Christian walk, their
professional life and Christian faith.
Integration of Faith and Learning:
The curriculum is rooted in a God-centered view of life, allowing students the
opportunity to understand themselves and the world around them from a Biblical
perspective, so that they can develop the skills to think Biblically, and become
disciples for Christ. All truth is found in God. The Bible is God’s Holy Word, without
error, and is the sole authority for life. The integration of Biblical faith and learning is
the primary function and responsibility of the teachers at GBA.
We, at Grace Baptist Academy, believe that we have the mission of enabling our
student to live wholesome Christian lives in a harsh and demanding world. In
cooperation with the parents, we will make the students aware that, while they are
created in God’s image, they are also blessed with distinctive personalities. They will
also learn that they are endowed with special talents, which they will discover, and
finally, that God has a purpose for each of them, and they can achieve that purpose.
Grace Baptist Academy provides an environment that encourages students to excel in
their individual intellectual and artistic pursuits. These pursuits, coupled with the
development of Christian character, will enable each student to recognize God’s
special plan for his or her life.
We are well aware that the primary responsibility for raising children rests with the
parents. With that in mind, Grace Baptist Academy believes that the parents and
school should work in cooperation and harmony in nurturing, training, guiding and
expanding the child’s mind and spirit. Such cooperation creates spiritually vital
families. This is the foundation for our community, nation, and future generations.
