Hondo First Baptist Church School was
established in 1977 as a
ministry to the
community of Hondo and the surrounding areas by the First Baptist Church of Hondo.
Our mission is to
provide quality, Christian education for children which will
foster the
physical, mental, social, emotional and spiritual growth at a reasonable cost. Our curriculum
provides opportunities for
worship and for other experiences that help broaden a child's
religious and spiritual
concepts. All faiths and races are welcome.
To maintain quality, class sizes are limited to 12 children per teacher.

visual, and tactile activities promote cognitive
