First Baptist School offers curriculum which is based on a Christian perspective of education. All curriculum meets and in most cases exceeds the TEKS. We feel it is important to integrate scriptural principles into each area of subject matter. We continually research a variety of curricula, and have selected materials that will offer your child a high quality academic education, centered on the principles of God's Word.
