First Baptist Church School is a Preschool Young K3 through 8th Grade school, which is a mission of First Baptist Church of Shreveport but operates independently. Founded in 1970, FBCS has a rich tradition of providing excellent academics in a Christian environment. Our vision states: “First Baptist Church School strives to produce a generation of confident and self-directed lifelong learners with the strong academic discipline, technological skills, and personal faith necessary to realize their potential in God’s world.” To achieve this vision, our instruction at all levels is challenging, enriching, and differentiated for all types of learners. The academic instruction students receive is preparing them for the next phase of their education and their lives. Also, FBCS offers pull-out programs during the school day for gifted students, students with language disabilities (dyslexia), and those needing general academic support. The curriculum we utilize is based on national standards in Education. Although state-approved textbooks serve as the foundation of our instruction, we do not follow the Common Core State Standards. We reflect often on our teaching practices and make changes based on our students needs to ensure supplements are strategically implemented to improve instruction. Technology, hands-on activities, and manipulatives are highly utilized to support the instruction at every level. Students in grades 2 through 8 are administered the IOWA Assessments, a nationally standardized achievement test, which provides the school and parents with national percentile rankings on each student and class. In addition to the core-subject curriculum, students enjoy a variety of enrichment classes, including Bible study every day and Chapel weekly. With caring, experienced teachers as role models and instructors, and a seasoned administration, First Baptist Church School provides students an experience that is not only academic, but that focuses on their development in all aspects of their lives.
