Mission Statement
It is the aim of Athens Bible School to create an environment and maintain standards of conduct that are consistent with Christian ideals. There are restrictions at ABS which may not be necessary in other places and under different conditions, but which are essential to the maintenance of the ideals of this school. It is understood that every student who enters Athens Bible School thereby pledges to abide by the spirit and letter of all rules and regulations of the school.

Cooperation on the part of parents is essential to the proper management of Athens Bible School. When parents enter their sons or daughters in Athens Bible School, they agree to accept the regulations of the school and to encourage their children to be subject to these regulations. This express agreement should be clearly understood by students, parents, faculty and administration.

A school cannot make character, but it can give a student the best opportunity to develop character. In this age when popular attitudes and ideas constantly change, Athens Bible School believes that the most worthwhile education is based on the unchanging principles of the Christian religion.

It is the aim of the administration and faculty to cultivate and develop the spiritual nature of the student and to create and maintain a religious sentiment that is in harmony with the will of God. The Bible is a textbook of every student in Athens Bible School. It is a constant aim to surround the student with an atmosphere that is based on Biblical teachings.

Athens Bible School is operated by a Board of Directors and Administration who are members of the church of Christ. It is supported by tuition, fees, fundraising activities, and private donations. Contributions from congregations are neither solicited nor accepted.
