We Are Family. We Are FBA.
Have you ever wondered if there’s a better way to do school? A way to educate that puts children’s cognitive, emotional, social, and spiritual needs at the forefront? A way that challenges students academically, fosters them spiritually, and guides them to discover their God-given purpose and abilities? Well, over two decades ago, families wondered the same thing — and First Baptist Academy was born.
Located in Naples, FL, FBA combines academic excellence with an authentic Christian education for students in preschool K3 through 12th grade, with the goal of helping children grow into their full potential in Christ. This is school; the way it should be.
