Elliston Baptist Academy is an affiliate of Elliston Baptist Church. We are located off Getwell, just two blocks North of Interstate 240, in Southeast Memphis.
Our late Pastor, Dr. Floyd Simmons, with a vision and compassion for the lost, undertook the foundation of Elliston Baptist Academy in the fall of 1972.
The purpose of the Academy was to give people in the middle class community the opportunity to put their children in school at a tuition rate that was lower than other private schools.
At the peak of growth, the Academy's enrollment was approximately 1800 students. A decline in enrollment is partly due to people moving into the outer areas of the City, and even into Mississippi. The Academy has a present enrollment of 116 students in grades PK-12. The hours are from 8:15 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. We also have a Day Care program that operates five days a week from 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Our Day Care progranm is certified by the Tennessee Department of Education.
Elliston is State approved, and accredited through T.A.N.A.S. (Tennessee Association of Non-Public Academic Schools).
We are now enrolling for the 2007-2008 school year, and are proud to begin our 36th year in existence.
We welcome your calls and visits.
