Florence Baptist Academy was established in
2001, when we saw an enormous need for quality
education in the Florence and Coolidge areas.
The philosophy of the school is that we are only
a small part of the family and we need to have
cooperation with the family unit, in order to
achieve a full education experience. We do not
try to take away from any part of the family,
while at the same time training students to be
great young men and young women.
We believe a child needs to be educated by body
soul and spirit. We educate the body through our
physical education program and intramural sports
program. We educate the soul of the child
through the mastery based education program of
learning. We educate the spirit through the
Bible based curriculum which we use.
We believe a child needs to master what he or
she is being taught before they should be able
to progress into the next part of their learning
experience. We require all students to receive a
90% or higher on their test scores, in order to
advance to the next level of learning.
When a student comes to the school they are
tested to see where they can achieve, in their
own learning ability and are placed in the
curriculum where they can make that achievement.
Students then can learn as fast as their mind
will allow them to. We do not hold students back
if they can excel in learning. On the other
side, we do not force a student to keep up to
those who are their own age if they do not
understand the concepts of what they are being
taught.
We have had great success in our achievement
scores. All our students test well above the
national average for their grade level, using
Stanford 10 testing. All of our graduates have
gone on to higher education with great entrance
scores from the schools they enrolled in.
If you would like to know more about Florence
Baptist Academy, please do not hesitate to call
the school. We do have limited enrollment and
the school fills fast from year to year.
