Canaan Baptist Academy is a ministry of Canaan Baptist Church and was founded in the fall of 2018. From its inception and continuing through today, Canaan Baptist Academy strives to produce leaders who know personally and serve their Creator and Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ fervently. As a result of their relationship with Christ, they will then be able to meet others’ needs through the knowledge and skills they gain.
In an age dominated by humanistic philosophies, Canaan Baptist Academy has determined to remain rooted in Christ and His Word. Since it is the school’s philosophy that will establish its curriculum and procedures, Canaan Baptist Academy strives to apply a genuinely biblical philosophy in every class and activity.
Canaan Baptist Academy is helping parents fulfill their sacred responsibility of providing their children with an academically sound, Christ-centered education based on the principles of God’s Word.
Since the ultimate objective of Christian education is the development of Christlike character in each young person, Canaan Baptist Academy seeks to make this apparent in everything that is done. Every subject that is taught and every activity is undertaken is done with God's purposes and view. Canaan Baptist Academy seeks to challenge Christian young people to mature spiritually, to be loyal to God's word, and to be willing to do His will.
At Canaan Baptist Academy, our emphasis is to develop our students as a whole. Of course, we focus on academics, but we also seek to help our students physically, spiritually, and socially. We provide a climate that is structured and wholesome - that is conducive to spiritual growth. We seek to help them apply the truths they are learning to the day to day activities they experience at home, in the classroom, and in their relationships. We strive to develop within each student a reverence for God and His ownership in their lives, as well as a love for the church. We also foster an appreciation of the fine arts, appreciation of our country, and its freedoms.
Canaan Baptist Academy strives for academic excellence in order to prepare our students for a life of effective service to God. Our academic approach is traditional and emphasizes the basics of building a secure academic foundation. Our curriculum focuses on preparing students to communicate effectively, to work responsibly and productively, and to apply Biblical wisdom in daily life. We work with students individually to promote them in their strengths and equip them in areas they may find difficult. Currently, we use the Abeka video classes as well as supplementing with teacher-directed reviews and tutoring, and some classes taught traditionally by our teachers. This creates a great treasure in the quality of teachers on the videos as well as our own qualified staff who are able to work with our students. This has enabled us to offer quality both within the videos and off of the videos.
In addition to the academics, the social and spiritual emphasis we deliberately offer musical training to every student through our developing conservatory approach to instruction. The skills and discipline of musicianship help equip young people for future service for Jesus Christ. Each student’s regimen includes private lessons, small groups, master class, theory instruction, and orchestra under top instructors.
