Welcome!
Blue Grass
Baptist School has been educating hearts and minds in
Lexington, KY since 1969.
Started as a Kindergarten
program in a local Baptist church, Blue Grass Baptist School
has grown to a K-12th grade school.
We know that once you look
into what we have to offer, you will easily see what an
awesome work that God is doing in this place.
Our Christian
based educational program strives to make our school a place
where Jesus Christ lives in the hearts and minds of those
who teach and those who learn. We focus on bringing the
home, church, and school into a partnership for the purpose
of training the next generation.
Our small student-teacher ratio in
the regular classroom setting allows our teachers the luxury
of addressing each child’s needs daily. Additionally,
enrichment activities are provided through such programs as
4-H club, National Junior Honor Society, National Honor
Society for Secondary Schools, BETA club, D.A.R.E., Pep
Club, Student Council, and Journalism.
We have a
dynamic athletics program for both elementary and high
school students.

Vision Statement:
Our vision is to provide an excellent
Christian Education, uniting home, church and school in
Jesus Christ through Kingdom Education so that the
generations to come will know the Truth of God’s Word and
not forget His works, nor be taken captive by the vain
philosophies of their day.
Psalms
78:1-7, Colossians 2:8
Elementary:
BGBS elementary
students (K-6th
grade) are offered a strong academic program with a fun and
exciting learning environment. Our curriculum includes a
variety of subjects including a strong phonetic reading
curriculum, math, handwriting, Bible, reading skills,
science, social studies, physical education, music, art and
other special units. Academic progress is measured in the
spring through the Comprehensive Test of Basic Skills
(CTBS). Our goal is to shape the whole child, not just
academically, but in every area of their lives by
challenging them to be all God has created them to be.

High School:
Many opportunities are given to high
school students seeking academic excellence.
Honors courses are offered
 in English and History.
Bible courses and weekly chapel are an integral part
of each student’s schedule. Major academic
disciplines of math, English, science, and
history
are all designed to exceed state graduation requirements. To
enhance a student’s overall experience, volunteer community
service is required and career development courses are offered. Our
commitment to small classes provides the best environment
for learning and growth.
Our desire is to prepare
students not only for college, but for life through a
Biblical worldview.
BGBS and Athletics:
BGBS is a member of the
Kentucky Christian Athletic
Association (KCAA). We
participate in basketball, volleyball,
softball,
baseball,
and cheerleading. Elementary students can participate
basketball drill team or cheerleading.
We feel that the true measure of success is demonstrated
through the development of Christian character.
Yes, winning is important,
but glorifying God is the ultimate goal of our athletic
program.

Be
it known to all who enter here that CHRIST is the reason for
the school. He is the
unseen but ever present teacher in its classes.
He is the model of its faculty and the inspiration of
its students. |
