Overview
Buford Road Christian Academy is a ministry of Buford Road Baptist Church.
It is our desire to provide an affordable christian education for families who want sound doctrine and moral training for their children in a secure christian environment. Buford Road Christian Academy has been selected for the Best of Richmond Award in the religious schools category by the US Local Business Asssociation.
We are at your service. We teach a faith based curriculum (ABEKA). We teach Sunday School on Sunday morning, but in our Academy, Monday through Friday is all about highly advanced and challenging academics.
Please call today to schedule an appointment for enrollment. We are running out of seats even as you read this overview. We pray God has a place for you and an opportunity for us to serve your family.
Banner Christian School serves Christian families in our community as they train up their children in the way they should go.
Our goal is to unify the training a child receives at home and their local church by providing a school where Christ is preeminent and education is rooted in the Word of God.
Accomplishing this task requires a dedicated staff with a Kingdom vision.
God has blessed Banner with a staff of well-qualified, Christian teachers.
Each teacher is a born-again believer with a proven testimony of faith. In addition, each teacher is a college graduate and teaches within his/her field of knowledge.
Banner Christian School is a place where teachers teach, students learn, parents are happy, and God is magnified.
