Quality, Affordable Christian Education

Independent Baptist Academy and Stepping Stones Preschool are a place where students receive an excellent Christian education. We are dedicated to creating a Christ-honoring environment and excellent academics. We use the Abeka curriculum as the core of our classroom instruction.

Stepping Stones teaches 3 to 4 year olds and is a 12-month program. IBA starts at kindergarten (K5) and goes all the way through 12th grade, and offers an optional summer enrichment program for K5–6th grade students.

Strengthening the Mind and Heart

Our first objective focuses on the heart as we teach our young people “how to live.” The King James Bible is our standard and textbook in this area as we endeavor to build godly character by teaching our young people to be honest, hard-working, trustworthy, and obedient.

Secondly, we focus on the mind as we teach our young people “how to make a living.” We strive for high academic standards and seek to provide the basic education they need using a traditional classroom approach along with Abeka and Bob Jones University curriculum and textbooks.

Summer Enrichment and Summer Camp Programs

A Summer Enrichment Program for ages 5 to 12, plus week-long summer camps in music, science, sports and more, open to everyone.
