Silverdale Baptist Academy

About
"It is so wonderful that the values that we strive to instill in our children at home are foundational and intrinsic to SBA." – Kristen Shoemaker Heath '08
Admissions
"Silverdale has gifted us with so many blessings, but one of the biggest ones is peace of mind. We have such comfort knowing that when we drop our children off in car line every morning that they are entering a school that partners with us and ensures an education based on Christian values and principles." – Holly Spickard | Parent
Academics
"My time at Silverdale laid the groundwork for me to be anchored in God's truth as I went off to college and entered the workforce. Because of the spiritual and academic foundation I received at Silverdale, I was prepared to excel in college and law school. As a labor and religious-liberty lawyer who helps clients all over the country, I would not be where I am today without my time at SBA." – Alexander Ioannidis '16
Fine Arts
"The Arts at Silverdale has helped me to find the things in life that I truly love doing." – Nathan Steffey '23
Athletics(opens in new window/tab)
"Coaching at Silverdale has shaped me as a man. The goal here isn’t about wins and losses, but rather about the impact we can make spiritually on our players lives. It’s freeing to know our identity isn’t connected to what our teams do on the field, but instead on who Jesus has called us to be. We are different here. We are Silverdale!" – Lance Rorex | Assistant Athletic Director | Head Baseball Coach
Campus Life
"Silverdale has been a place that has given me a firm foundation in Christ. The teachers and coaches have supported me through the good and the bad times, and have helped me become who I am today." – Gabby '25
Spiritual Life
"Grace, encouragement, and compassion are just a few of the ways that SBA is uncommon in its culture. As a father of two young boys who attend this academy, it gives me tremendous peace and joy knowing that they are being relentlessly fed the Gospel." – Chris Warnat | Director of Athletic Operations, Football Coach
Support
"After graduating from Silverdale, it was hard for me to move forward, leaving a place that I called family. Silverdale has always been, and will continue to be more than just a school to me." – Kelsey Neighbors Johnson ‘18

"My daughter just planted her own veggies and herbs in our raised beds. With dirty hands and a happy heart, she was confident in a job well done because, 'this is how Mr. Smith taught us to do it.' I'm so thankful for a Silverdale education that goes beyond the classroom."

- Erica Fox, Parent
