Central Baptist School is old-fashioned in the sense that we teach and preach traditional Christian values as contained in the Word of God.
We expect good conduct, and we demand a high standard of academic achievement.
While these qualities may be old-fashioned, they are not outdated.
Indeed, these are the very attributes we seek to instill in our students that they may fulfill God's perfect will for their lives.
Founded in 1973, we now offer a complete program from pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade.
Graduates have been accepted at Bible colleges throughout the country, as well as universities throughout the state.
As a ministry of Central Baptist Church, the doctrines and principles of the Word of God permeate the classroom.
All subjects are taught from a Biblical, Baptist perspective. Education at CBS is more than learning how to make a living.
Strong emphasis is placed on how to live in accordance with the clear commands of Scripture.
We make no apology for holding to those eternal principles that have reared previous generations.
Knowing and living values will allow our young people to experience a successful Christian life.
