FROM THE BUSINESS OFFICE

Tuition payments are due in the office on the 1st of each month, however, payments may be made through the 10th without a late fee. Thereafter, a late fee will be assessed.

Pre-school payments are due each Monday. A late fee will be assessed every day thereafter.

COMMUNITY SERVICE HOUR REQUIREMENT

In order to ensure that we maintain affordable tuition rates, parents are required to render twenty hours a year (five each quarter) of community service to our school. Community service hours may be earned by donating your time for various tasks such as, lunchroom monitor, classroom substitute, working concessions at games, filing, assisting in the office and aiding a teacher. Parents may inquire with the Principal for other options. (This requirement is per family, not per student). Assistance is currently needed from 11:00-12:00 for lunch coverage in the office and monitoring in the lunchroom. Service hours are also needed from 3:30-5:30 for office duties. However, if there are other times when you would like to earn your hours, please contact the school office.

READ ALL ABOUT!!!

Second Baptist Christian Academy has been Re-Accredited by the International Christian Accrediting Association (ICAA) and the Arkansas Non-public School Accrediting Association (ANSAA).

SBCA hosted both Accreditation Agencies November 14-17, 2009. The teams gave high marks to SBCA and were very impressed with our wonderful students. We praise God for the distinction as we continue to nurture His children for a life to honor Him.

I would like to personally thank the wonderful and dedicated staff of our school who worked untiringly to help make this possible. A special thank you is extended to our Accreditation Coordinator, Ms. Erica Brooks, for a job well done.
