WEAREBAYSHORE: SCHOLARS,LEADERS,FAITHWARRIORS
Since 1971, Bayshore Christian School has been serving students and families from across the Tampa Bay area. Our mission is to challenge, develop, and empower students for leadership by following the example of Jesus to “grow in wisdom, stature, and in favor with God and man” (Luke 2:52). Our nurturing family atmosphere provides students opportunities to grow and thrive and become lifelong learners with a Biblical worldview.
Our family-friendly tuition rates are more than $5,000 lower per year than those of most private Christian schools in the area. We aim to keep our costs affordable without sacrificing our quality of education or our excellent student-teacher ratio and small class sizes.
THEANNUALFUND
As we strive to keep tuition affordable for all families, our tuition does not cover the full cost of educating a student. There is a financial gap per student each year. We count on donor support to fill the gap and aid in keeping tuition affordable for all who wish to enroll their child/ren at Bayshore Christian School.
Money raised is immediately invested back into the school: financial aid, classroom enhancements, campus improvements, campus security, technology, athletics, fine arts, professional development, and more. Every gift is vital and makes a significant impact.
For the past six years, this yearly campaign has provided us financial resources to provide our students with additional means and tools to continue excelling in and out of the classroom.
Our prayer is to inspire 100% of our families to give to this year’s Annual Fund campaign. Please consider being a part of this initiative by donating today.
