Beginning

Sensing God's leading to start a Christian elementary school on the West Shore, the members of Bible Baptist Church approved the establishing of Bible Baptist School. In the fall of 1973, with 84 pupils and 5 full-time faculty members, BBS officially began educating students in grades 1-8.

Growth

In 1974 kindergarten was added. The high school was started in 1978 and graduated its first class in 1981. A new Activities Center with a gym, cafeteria, two classrooms, and a science lab, was constructed in 1982. In 1993, an educational wing was added to the Activities Center, housing 6 large classrooms and an office complex. In 1995, a third floor was added to Carey Hall, giving us an additional 5 elementary classrooms.

Accreditation

During the 1993/94 academic year, BBS received full accreditation from the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools and the Association of Christian Schools International. The school was re-accredited in 2003.
