ACADEMICS

We believe in strong academics.
And we feel a little rigor won't kill any student. In fact, in a day of lower academic standards, rigor is a good thing, as long as the student can have a balanced life.

Most of our teachers have masters degrees or are in pursuit of a masters. Several  staff members hold a couple of masters degrees or are working on masters #2. A graduate degree does not necessarily equal a great teacher, but it does show our committment to expanding staff horizons so our students are well prepared for college.

Class Times
  • Grades 7 - 12       8:00 a.m. to 3:26 p.m.

College Entrance
Typically, long term TBS students taking the ACT College Entrance Exam will score -- on average -- a 24 composite score. This is above average for college bound students; 20 is the national average.  Many score in the 28-31 range. The key to a great ACT score is rigor and taking the most difficult classes.


Although our goal is to encourage students to attend a Christian college to further develop a Christian worldview, we have students admitted to:  Baylor, Virginia Tech, University of Virginia, Emery Riddle, Old Dominion University, Virginia Commonwealth University, University of Texas, Drexel University, University of Massachusetts, Virginia Military Institute, etc. -  so our students are prepared to go anywhere. Small class sizes ensure an environment for successful preparation. 


NOTE: A significant percentage of our grads attend Christian college as the logical continuation of the TBS program of solid academics in a spiritual setting. Sadly, the secular university setting is hostile to Christianity.  Students who attend a Christian college can continue to receive an education with God at the center.
