Bay Shore Christian School Photo #1 - Bay Shore Assembly of God Church Bay Shore Christian School/Happy Days Preschool

Realizing the need to return to Biblical values in education, the Bay Shore Assembly of God made provision for the opening of the Bay Shore Christian School in September, 1984.

Since its inception, our school enrollment has steadily increased, and Godly characteristics have become evident in the lives of our children.

The academic achievement of our students is on grade level or above, as measured by standardized tests.

Our teaching staff is highly qualified both academically and spiritually.

The educational materials we have been using are published by a Christian publishing company and include Godly concepts and precepts in all areas of learning.

We believe we are providing a learning environment which is considers the whole child; spirit, mind, and body, and we cordially invite you to come see for yourself what God is doing at the Bay Shore Christian School.

Led by the Holy Spirit and the Bible, it is the purpose of the Bay Shore Christian School to provide academic excellence with the consciousness that all truth, including the arts and sciences, is God's truth and that Jesus Christ is the center of all learning and living..
