I was able to complete a lot of college classes at this school while in high school. However, the curriculum is old, and only some of the teachers are good at teaching.

This is a great school . It is academically challenging and offers duel credit classes in high school. The teachers are kind. All three of my kids have really liked the school.

I love teaching at FBA! It is so neat to have former students come back and let us know how well they were prepared for college and jobs by being challenged here at our school. We are a family here at FBA and help each other when there is a need. The name of Jesus Christ is lifted up in chapel each week and everyday in the classrooms.

I have taught at this school for more than 20 years and have found it to be an authentic Christian school that teaches the students about God's Word and how much He loves them and wants them to follow Him throughout their lives. The curriculum is challenging and above grade level, but accommodations...
