Secondary Education . . . Education for Eternity
Upper Bucks Christian School is in the business of educating students for eternity. These eternal values taught to us by the Savior through his word form the foundation for all learning. We also teach our students to strive for excellence in everything they do. Students in our Secondary Department (grades 7 through 12) are encouraged to grow in mind, body and spirit. Over 800 young people have graduated from the UBCS high school since the first commencement in 1976 and have gone on to lead successful, productive lives.
Facilities
The secondary grades are housed on the main campus of Bethel Baptist Church/Upper Bucks Christian School. Chapel is held twice a week in the church auditorium. Academic classes are held in the high school wing and Timothy Christian Education Center. The Timothy building also houses an Art lab, Computer lab, Home Economics lab, social center/cafeteria, commercial kitchen and a large library.
The Music Center, adjacent to the Timothy Christian Education Center, contains a large band room, and two practice rooms.
