International Program

Admissions Process

Students will be granted admission based on their academic history, recommendations, and student interview via Skype or WeChat. Applicants who meet all of the admission requirements and who have been accepted to be a student at First Baptist Academy will be provided the I-20 immigration document. This will allow the student to apply for an F-1 student visa.

Admissions applications are available online through RenWeb at www.fbacademy.com. Once the application is completed and reviewed by the admissions committee, an interview will follow.

Host Family Experience  

Each international student is required to live with a family in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. International students who are not living with their biological families are placed with Christian host families who are screened and approved by FBA. Each adult in the household has had a criminal background check for students’ safety. Students are expected to engage in family life style, attend church regularly, and pay monthly host family compensation (which includes food, lodging, and transportation to and from school).

Tuition and Fees

Payments for tuition and fees may be made by bank check/debit or sent directly to the First Baptist Academy bank account by wire transfer. Please contact the Admissions Office for wire transfer information.

Tuition is due at the time students arrive to the school for the start of classes. Tuition must be paid in its entirety before the first day of classes. Once the student has entered his/her first day of class, tuition for the year is NON-REFUNDABLE.
