First Baptist Christian School is a K – 9 Christian school located in historic, downtown Suffolk, Virginia. The school is a ministry of First Baptist Church, but our student body and faculty include members of numerous churches and denominations from Suffolk and the surrounding areas. First Baptist is a member of the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI), and we have begun the accreditation process with ACSI. We were granted candidacy status in the fall of 2005 and expect this three-year process to culminate in the spring of 2008.

We currently enroll over 200 students in kindergarten through ninth grades. We added ninth grade in the fall of 2006 with the intention of adding one grade per year through twelfth grade. We expect to have a graduating class in 2010.

Our Mission

The mission of First Baptist Christian School is to glorify God by partnering with parents to provide a Biblically-based educational program that trains and nurtures children to become fully devoted followers of Christ.

Vision Statement

Our vision is to become the premier Christian school in the western Tidewater area, offering a comprehensive, college-preparatory school with top-quality academic, spiritual, athletic, and fine arts programs. We will graduate young men and women with the keen intellect, deep faith, life skills, and biblical worldview necessary to live a life of Christian service, leadership, and citizenship.
