Baptist Temple School was founded in 1959, making it one of the oldest Church-Based schools in Florida and the Oldest Church-Based School in Orlando.
Orlando Baptist Temple started a school to give Christian parents the option to educate their children in a way that is consistent with Biblical Philosophy, to teach Christian Science, character, discipline, and a knowledge and love for God.
At Baptist Temple School, we make no denial of our ultimate goal, to be “A Distinctively Christian School.” We are not for everybody.
We exist to assist Christian Parents in their goal to raise children that will honor God.
We feel that our school is unique for a spiritually elite.
