Welcome!
Blue Grass Baptist School has been educating hearts and minds in Lexington, KY since 1969.
Started as a Kindergarten program in a local Baptist church, Blue Grass Baptist School has grown to a K-12th grade school.
We know that once you look into what we have to offer,
you will easily see what an awesome work that God is doing in this place.
Our Christian based
educational program strives to make our school a place where
Jesus Christ lives in the hearts and minds of those who
teach and those who learn. We focus on bringing the home,
church, and school into a partnership for the purpose of
training the next generation.
Our small student-teacher
ratio in the regular classroom setting allows our teachers
the luxury of addressing each child’s needs daily. Additionally,
enrichment activities are provided through such programs
as 4-H club, National Jr. & Sr. Honor Society, Beta club, D.A.R.E.,
STLP (Student Leadership Technology Program), Pep Club,
Pep Band, and Journalism.
We have a dynamic athletics program for both elementary
and high school students, lead by dedicated coaches and
parents.

Vision Statement:
Our

home, church and school in Jesus Christ through Kingdom
Education so that the generations to come will know the
Truth of God’s Word and not forget His works, nor be taken
captive by the vain philosophies of their day.

Elementary:
BGBS
elementary students (K-6th grade) are offered
a strong academic program with a fun and exciting learning
environment. Our curriculum includes a variety of subjects
including a strong phonetic reading curriculum, math, handwriting,
Bible, reading skills, science, social studies, physical
education, music, art and other special units. Academic
progress is measured in the spring through the Comprehensive
Test of Basic Skills (CTBS). Our goal is to shape the whole
child, not just academically, but in every area of their
lives by challenging them to be all God has created them
to be.

High
School:
Many
opportunities are given to high school students seeking
academic excellence.
Honors courses are offered in
English.
Bible courses
and weekly chapel are an integral part
of each student’s schedule. Major academic disciplines of
math, science, and h
istory are all designed to exceed state
graduation requirements. To enhance a student’s overall
experience, volunteer community service and career development
courses are offered. Our commitment to small classes provides the best environment for learning and growth.
Our desire is to prepare students not only for college,
but for life through a Christian worldview.
BGBS
and Athletics:
BGBS is a member of the
Kentucky Christian Athletic
Association (KCAA). We participate in basketball,
volleyball,
softball,
baseball,
and chearleading.
Elementary students can
participate in co-ed soccer.
We feel that the
true measure of success is demonstrated through the development
of Christian character.
Yes, winning is important, but glorifying God is
the ultimate goal of our athletic program.
A Message from our Principal:
I am very fortunate to serve in a
Christian school where students, parents, teachers, and
supporters work together in serving Jesus Christ.
We need to work together in
making
Blue Grass
Baptist
School
the best it can be.
I cannot do it alone, but if
everyone works together, God will truly bless our school and
our school families.
We need to put our Lord first
and wait upon Him to bring amazing results to our school!
I am excited about being
Principal of BGBS.
Our students here are what make
this school such a wonderful place to serve.
My vision for the
school is to move toward a stronger academic,
college-preparatory education that will enable all our
students to go to college.
Instilling a Biblical worldview
across our curriculum and the mindsets of our students will
enable them to stand firm in their beliefs as they prepare
for their future.
As we continue to
grow in number, I would like for our school to expand in
classroom and athletic space or possible re-location.
This will take time of course,
but we need to work together allowing God to bless our
school and our school family.
I want to thank God for giving
me this opportunity to be administrator of BGBS.
May God Bless each and everyone
of you!
Sincerely,
Philip Ritchey
