Our History
Beth Eden Baptist School is situated in a suburb of western Denver in view of the majestic Rocky Mountains. Founded in 1972 as a ministry of Beth Eden Baptist Church, we exist for the purpose of providing students a Christian worldview education through rigorous academics, intentional character development, and an appreciation for the fine arts. More than 500 students have graduated from Beth Eden Baptist School.
Our Commitments
-
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.
-
In a world of sin and uncertainty, we firmly believe that safety is of the Lord. But we do our best to ensure that Beth Eden is a safe place for students to learn. We have no tolerance for verbal, physical or cyber bullying and will solicit parental involvement to correct this behavior when discovered. Our teachers are CPR/First Aid certified and background checked and trained through the MinistrySafe sexual abuse safety system. We conduct regular safety drills and partner with local law enforcement and the ILoveUGuys foundation to ensure our students are as prepared and safe as possible. We know that students are valuable gifts of God, and we seek to treat them that way.
-
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 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, definition of marriage, gender roles, and the dignity and sanctity of human life).
-
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 the areas of discipline and discipleship
-
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 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 believe that Fine Arts and Athletics are essential elements to a well-rounded education. Both activities train body and mind in aesthetics, character, and discipline, all of which immediately serve students and equip them for Great Commission living. We teach and expect maximum effort, continuous growth, selfless love and embracing weakness in each of these extra-curricular activities and actively encourage student participation in them.
-
We believe that school spirit is essential to unity within our student body. Our school mascot, the Knights,are known for their truth, honor and loyalty. 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!
-
We believe that education should be as affordable and accessible as possible. Beth Eden Baptist School underwrites tuition to offer an 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 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.
Our Mission
Beth Eden is a private school that holds distinct Christian values. We are proud to hold to our mission statement: “Educational Excellence in an Authentically Christian Atmosphere.”
From preschool through to 12th grade, students we strive to offer an excellent traditional education, to grow students in maturity and responsibility, and challenge them to engage their world mentally, physically, and spiritually. We hire teachers who are enthusiastic, knowledgeable and competent. But more importantly, we choose teachers who are examples of active, committed, and consistent Christians.
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.
