 At Fairhaven Baptist Academy, all subjects are founded upon the principles in the Word of God. Bible is taught in every grade. Academics are high and challenging for students, starting with reading in K-5 and increasing in content of information from there. Highly educated teachers instruct students so that they get the best help for accomplishing tasks given to them. Homework is normal and expected to be done as a part of their learning. All aspects of the school work together to equip pupils with the best tools for a quality Christian future.

Fundraising
Fairhaven Baptist Academy attempts to lower the tuition load on parents and increase the availability of sports and music programs by using a variety of different fundraisers. Entertainment books are sold the first two weeks of school, and there is large a bake sale/auction in February. However, the main fundraiser is a candy sale in the fall and in the spring. Students get very involved and excited about the sales. Great prizes are given and competition is fun! Special days off school are given during the candy sale so that students can participate and not get behind in their schooling. The school still meets the required number of class days per year. Students can sometimes go with teachers or parents to places where their parents work, or where their families grew up.
Fairhaven Baptist Academy receives no government funding.
