The private, nondenominational Bayshore Christian School has served Tampa Bay since 1971, teaching children from as young as 2 years old up to high school seniors.
With a motto of “We are Bayshore: Scholars, Leaders, Faith Warriors,” the school molds each of these aspects in their pupils.
Scholastically, education starts with essential core knowledge like reading, writing, math and social studies. As students progress, their academic lives become more challenging. Eighth graders can enroll in up to four high school classes, and high schoolers can take Advanced Placement courses and dual enroll in the local community college.
Students hone their leadership skills through involvement in such activities as student government, interest clubs and honor societies, and serving as a manager for the school’s annual theatrical productions.
Bayshore creates Faith Warriors in more ways than one. It’s the nickname for the school’s middle and high school athletic teams, which compete in several sports, from flag football to golf. Spiritually, students in every grade receive daily Bible instruction, go on mission trips and attend weekly chapel services.
As a result, Bayshore Christian Academy turns out graduates who are prepared to make a positive impact on the world!

We have been part of the BCS family for 3 years and couldn't be happier. Both my kids are in the elementary division and have had an incredible school experience so far. They have learned so much and are thriving, with Jesus being part of their education. The school faculty care so much about the kids and tirelessly give their best to them every day.

Excellent school for over 50 years. Outstanding Christian environment where Jesus Christ is at the center. The middle school teachers are loving and caring. So is the administration. Our son is thriving at BCS. I would, without hesitation, recommend Bayshore Christian School to all parents for children from K2-12th grade.

I have been a student at Bayshore Christian since 2019. Although it is a small school everyone feels like family. The teachers are very supportive and they get you ready for your next steps in life.

All my children have either graduated from or are currently attending BCS. A lot of schools have strong academics or a variety of sports programs, but what makes this school stand out is the environment. The teachers truly care about their students and want them to succeed in life and as individuals...
