Beth Eden Baptist School
School Overview
Mission
Beth Eden is a private school that holds distinct Christian values. We are proud to hold to our mission statement: “Educational Excellence in a Caring Christian Atmosphere.”
Beth Eden strives to offers a strong academic program that relates all accumulated and accumulating knowledge to the Triune God. We are self-consciously preparing students to be engaged churchmen, wise leaders of families, virtuous citizens, productive in their vocation, while being always attentive to the good and beautiful. We hire teachers who are enthusiastic, knowledgeable and competent communicators; but, more importantly, they are first of all living examples of an active, committed, and consistently Christian life.
Each student participates in Bible classes as well as chapel services that are Christ-centered, connecting each Bible story and life principle to the unfolding meta-narrative of God’s redemption in Christ.
Commitments
If you enroll your student at Beth Eden Baptist School, you can expect the following:
We will strive to provide educational excellence from a Biblical worldview in a caring, disciple-making atmosphere. As a Christian educational institution, we believe that the most important thing we can offer students is quality education rooted in the knowledge of God, delivered by teachers who desire to live Christ-centered, holy lives. Our instruction instills valuable disciplines for students' spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being. We seek to produce thoughtful citizens, godly church members, and thriving families through our education. That kind of education is our chief goal.
We will evangelize and disciple your student. We believe each student is a unique creation of God, and we serve them best by helping them achieve the design for which they were made - a relationship with the Creator God of the Universe through the work of Jesus Christ. Our faculty are Christian educators with a mission toward making disciples of Jesus Christ through the gifts and talents God has given each of them. Your student will be confronted with the truth of the exclusive gospel of Jesus Christ and challenged to embrace it and pursue a lifestyle shaped by it.
We will teach your student the Bible–all of it. We believe each student is designed to have a relationship with God. Since God has revealed Himself through the Bible, we desire each student to learn and understand what the Bible says. We will teach not just the whole narrative of the Bible but also the moral expectations of the Bible – from basic moral actions (like honesty, humility, endurance, and love) to Biblical answers to today's ethical questions (like transgenderism, gender roles, and the dignity and sanctity of human life).
We will encourage your student (and you) to attend, join, and serve in a local Bible-believing church body. We believe that God has created the Church as the primary place where believers grow in Christ and live out the Great Commission. Our school is not in competition with the Church; instead, our school serves the mission of the Church. BEBS works with local churches and their leaders in the Denver area in areas of discipline and discipleship.
We will hold your student accountable to a written code of conduct, diligent academic effort, and consistent class attendance – on time and in person whenever school is in session. We believe that students are ultimately accountable to God for their decisions and lifestyle while at Beth Eden Baptist School. Our Code of Conduct is not the gold standard of biblical living - the Bible is. That said, submitting to authority and fulfilling leaders' expectations are demonstrably Christian behaviors that students will find beneficial to learn and practice. Students who find it difficult to uphold their commitment to our student expectations may not be a good fit at BEBS.
We will offer students a well-rounded education and strongly encourage them to participate in fine arts and athletics. We believe that Fine Arts and Athletics are essential elements of a well-rounded education. Both activities train the body and mind in aesthetics, character, and discipline, which immediately serve students and equip them for Great Commission living. We teach and expect maximum effort, continuous growth, and selfless love in each of these extra-curricular activities and actively encourage student participation in them.
We will host a limited amount of fundraisers to keep tuition as low as possible. We believe that education should be as affordable and accessible as possible. Beth Eden Baptist School underwrites tuition to offer affordable education. We invite participation in a few significant fundraising events each year to offset our costs. Your contributions during those events will make education at BEBS possible for a wide range of families.
We will expect prompt bill payment. We believe that when you enroll your student at Beth Eden Baptist School, you are joining a community of families seeking to educate their children in godliness, maturity, and responsibility. The best way to see that mission accomplished, not just for your student but for the community of students, is to see that bills are paid promptly and in full to ensure the school's operations can continue uninterrupted. Tuition assistance, discounts, and scholarship funds may be available; please check with our financial office if needed.
We will solicit enthusiastic parental involvement. We believe that God has given parents the chief responsibility of educating their children; a school's role is as deputy of the parents' authority. Parents are more than the customers of the school: they are partners. We do everything we can to hold up our end of the partnership and, in return, expect parents to endorse and enforce our code of conduct, provide academic accountability, facilitate students' attendance in class, and serve the volunteer needs of the school where possible.
We will foster school spirit in our student body. We believe that school spirit is essential to unity within our student body. Our school mascot, the Knights, are known for their honor, integrity, and fidelity. Our school colors are purple (royalty) and white (purity). All of these character qualities should be true of our students, and we will keep them in front of them through various levels of student life - both in class and out of it. We want our faculty and student body to be proud to be considered Beth Eden Knights. Go Knights!
