Admissions - Procedures

The admissions procedure begins with a time to come and meet with either Mr. Gary Ohlemacher, the elementary administrator, or Mr. Charlie Graves, the secondary administrator. Elementary is K4 through the 6th grade and the secondary is 7th grade through the twelfth grade.

Realizing that attending FBS is a privilege and not a right, an interview with the administrator is required of each student along with their parent or guardian. The purpose is to present the school's philosophy and to give the parent/guardian a better understanding of the basis for Christian education. Students enrolling in grades 7th through 12th are also required to meet with our senior pastor, who also serves as the superintendent of the school. We also require a reference form from the student's pastor.

During the school year we encourage your son or daughter to attend school for a day, oftentimes called shadowing. We will place a classmate with your child for the day. Shadowing gives new students an opportunity to familiarize themselves with our students, staff and the classroom environment at our school.

General academic screening tests are administered for all students entering First Baptist School from the 2nd grade through the 12th grade. These tests determine the student's level of achievement.

Admission is not complete until all the necessary forms which include transcripts and records from the previous school verify their academic status.

Please call the office at 651-423-2272 and request a packet which includes information about our school as well as a school handbook. Thank you for your inquiry about enrollment at First Baptist.
