Our MISSION
Providing a Christ-centered education that develops critical thinking, clear communication, and faithful living
We partner with parents to guide our students to pursue a life of excellence and integrity in Jesus Christ, to discover their God-given gifts and talents, and to impact the world around them for the kingdom of God.
The Billings Christian Difference
We partner with families in providing a loving, Christian educational community. Using best teaching practices, we strive for excellence in the development of our students’ literacy and numeracy skills, as well as in the development of fundamental skills and concepts in a variety of other subject areas that are required for each grade level based on our content standards.
While enveloping students in Christ’s love and allowing children to grow in a grace-filled environment, students learn about moral and spiritual principles, as well as accountability, in order to achieve their highest potential for His glory.
Dually-Accredited:
Billings Christian School is dually-accredited through Association of Christian Schools International and Cognia (AdvancEd). We adopt a God-centered view of life — wisdom and knowledge are centered in God, rather than in man. Therefore, our goal is to develop godly characteristics in students based on Biblical morals and values. At the same time, we provide an environment and a program that encourages each child to develop to his/her maximum potential.
Preschool Program
We offer the finest early childhood Christian preschool education to meet the needs of our young children, and we provide a nurturing Christian community to help our students develop a solid foundation in Christ that will last a lifetime.
Our Preschool Students:
- Learn Biblical truths and memorize scripture that will serve as a foundation for a life of following Christ
- Develop curiosity for the world and compassion for the people God created
- Acquire social skills that serve as preparation for entrance into elementary school
The focus of our program is exposure to developmentally appropriate learning activities and social skills that will develop our children’s awareness of the world around them and help them progress toward their entrance into school. As we show children Jesus, we help students hide God’s Word into their hearts through Scripture memory, and students are guided to learn moral and spiritual principles in order to achieve their highest potential for His glory.
