About Bayshore Christian School in South Tampa, FL

About Us

Bayshore Christian School is an accredited, independent, non-denominational Christian School in South Tampa, Florida near Bayshore Boulevard.

At Bayshore, we serve students from 2 years old through 12th grade from all over the Tampa Bay area, and have been doing so since 1971. Our campus on South MacDill Avenue is conveniently located just off the Selmon Expressway. 

But here’s what you really want to know…

When we surveyed our families recently, there were 3 things that they loved most about coming to Bayshore Christian School:

1. Christian Values
2. Small Class Sizes
3. Academic Excellence

Values and a Christian Education

Many of our students attend BCS because their parents recognize the impact of a Christian education. They seek out reinforcement of the values they’re taught at home and church—a worldview that matches their life in Christ surrounded by teachers and staff that support their faith.

As a Christian school in Tampa, FL, those values are supported in study and in service opportunities and reflected in what we teach in every class.

Academic Excellence

Bayshore Christian School is an accredited school with rigorous academic standards. Our faculty and staff stay current with educational practices while staying true to our mission – and the results are an outstanding record of academic achievement!

We are accredited through the following organizations:

• Florida Council of Independent Schools
• Association of Christian Schools International
• Cognia

That achievement includes our graduates being accepted into some of the best colleges and universities in the country. During our most recent College Signing Day, our students were accepted to schools like the University of South Florida, University of Tampa, William and Mary, and more.

While our college preparatory program and dual enrollment are extremely important to many of our families, it’s not the only reason we strive for academic excellence at BCS.

Successful students of any age simply FEEL better when they DO better. 

Students that have struggled at public schools or other private schools in South Tampa and do better at Bayshore Christian School benefit from that momentum for the rest of their lives. They carry this success with them into the future.
