Introduction

School History

Peniel Baptist Academy began operating in August of 1971 being sponsored and funded by Peniel Baptist Church. The Academy initially began as a Daycare and Kindergarten facility with an enrollment of 22 students. In July of 1973, Peniel Baptist Church established the Academy’s School Board which was intended to be and currently is the governing body of the school comprised of six Peniel Baptist Church members, including a chairman, elected by the church body. In August of 1982, with an enrollment of 151 from kindergarten through sixth grade, the Academy built and moved into the new educational building on Peniel Church Road. With increasing enrollment and public interest, Peniel Baptist Church expanded the school to include PK3 through 12th grade in August of 1993. The first graduation occurred on May 23, 1997.

As of the 2009-2010 school year, Grades PK2 through 12th are offered with new classes and courses being added as our enrollment expands. Peniel Baptist Academy is entering its 38th year, “Educating Students to the Glory of God!”
