Academics
Los Angeles Baptist Middle and High School, a college preparatory school, is privileged to have 39 teachers be a part of its mission to equip “the saints for the works of service, to the building up of the body of Christ.” The school's mission is derived from Ephesians 4:12 (the New American Standard Bible Version that is used above). In pursuit of promoting intellectual growth in its students, Los Angeles Baptist requires that prospective teachers have a Bachelor’s degree or higher. The student/teacher ratio is 25:1. One hundred percent of Los Angeles Baptist students from the class of 2011 were admitted to either a university, college, speciality school, or military program.

Famous quotes containing the word academics:
“Almost all scholarly research carries practical and political implications. Better that we should spell these out ourselves than leave that task to people with a vested interest in stressing only some of the implications and falsifying others. The idea that academics should remain “above the fray” only gives ideologues license to misuse our work.”
—Stephanie Coontz (b. 1944)
“Our first line of defense in raising children with values is modeling good behavior ourselves. This is critical. How will our kids learn tolerance for others if our hearts are filled with hate? Learn compassion if we are indifferent? Perceive academics as important if soccer practice is a higher priority than homework?”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
