We are a distinctively Christian school conveniently located at the corner of US Route 41 and Old 41 Road at the north end of Bonita Springs. Since 1986, Gospel Baptist Christian School has been providing character driven, Bible-based education rich in the academic basics of reading, writing and math.

Gospel Baptist Christian School admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs. A parentally placed private school student with a disability does not have an individual right to receive some or all of the special education and related services that a student would receive if enrolled in a public school under the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA).
At Gospel Baptist Christian School, we strive to “educate children for eternity.” What does that mean? This type of education begins with a dedicated staff striving to model biblical living. The Bible is our first textbook. While Biblical and character training are key, that’s just the beginning of the overall education. Our teachers use a combination of Bob Jones University Press and Abeka Book curriculum in their classrooms. These textbooks have been proven over the years. Each of our teachers strives to teach the material clearly to each student. We will do whatever we can to help each student succeed. Each year, our students (K5 through 12th grade) take the Iowa Test of Basic Skills and CogAT tests. These nationally normed achievement tests are helpful for parents, teachers, and administrators as they work to enforce strengths and remediate weaknesses.

Beginning in 2006, GBCS joined the Florida Christian Athletic Association. This gave our students the opportunity to compete in flag football, volleyball, and basketball with other local Christian schools. Our prayer and goal is that in sports – or whatever we do – we do it “to the glory of God.”
The fine arts program at GBCS began in the early 2000’s under the direction of Mrs. Regina Brown. What started as an opportunity to teach children to communicate effectively and courageously for God’s glory has turned into a passion for so many students in our family. Our students have competed and placed in the FACCS Competition, the AACS National Competition, the SSACS Competition, and the FCAA Fine Arts Competition.
Students are able to explore many avenues of art, music, and drama. By allowing our students to pursue different avenues of competition, they learn many different skills. Of course, one hopes to compete well – but that is only part of the joy of fine arts competition. The lasting treasure is that students learn to rely on the Lord to communicate His message.
