Baptist Academy Secondary
PRINCIPAL:
Dr. Hensworth W.C. Jonas
Academic Excellence With Biblical Values
OBJECTIVES:
The secondary programme caters for students from Grades 7 – 12 (Form 1 to Pre-College), especially, but not necessarily, those who are preparing to meet the requirements of Christian universities and colleges. Students are not only challenged to excel academically, but also to commit their lives to Christ and pursue personal holiness. Our aim is to build Christian character in all of our students.
CURRICULUM:
The programme follows the A-Beka and Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) curricula culminating in a High School Diploma. In the Pre-College year (Grade 12), students take the American College Test (ACT) and/or the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). Upon graduating, students must have attained passes in at least five (5) CXC subjects at the General Proficiency Level, Mathematics and English-A inclusive. Currently, ten (10) subjects are offered at CXC: Mathematics, English-A, English-B, Spanish, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Social Studies, Principles of Business and Principles of Accounts.
Bible is taught at every level. Students study, in detail, topics such as Life of Christ, Kings of Israel and Life Management. A variety of additional subjects are offered as electives in the A-Beka curriculum.
DELIVERY SYSTEM:
Daily classes for A Beka subjects are delivered via video with the master teachers of A Beka Academy of Pensacola, Florida. However, there is a tutor present for each lesson to address the needs of each student. Local staff teaches CXC subjects. Classes are limited to twenty (20) students each. Therefore, students will benefit from one-on-one attention.
FINANCIAL AFFAIRS:
The tuition is $1, 250 per term which amounts to $3,750 for the entire academic year. At registration, parents or guardians will be required to sign an agreement which delineates the rules and regulations of the school. A non-refundable registration fee of $100 is due upon the signing the agreement. In addition, parents will sign the Secondary Honour Code to demonstrate their commitment to ensure that their children demonstrate the kind of behaviour that is becoming of one who is enrolled in a Christian school.
