Academics

Great care is used in selecting the textbooks for each class and grade level. Bob Jones University Press and Pensacola Christian College’s ABEKA publish the majority of books used by the students. Classic literature is used in all English classes. NMBCS strives to use appropriate texts for all instruction in all grades and for students of all backgrounds. Teachers are able to adapt lessons based on the needs and academic levels of their students.

Bible study is recognized by NMBCS as a fundamental requirement for all students. Without Bible study, a student can hardly be educated in the true sense of the Word. The Bible says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge” and offers the best guide for life and only hope for life to come. No other book can enrich and influence the minds and hearts of students like the Bible in a faith-based school. Christian character development is the most important aim at NMBCS. Because of this standard, all students are taught a planned program of Bible study in lieu of an elective. We use the Holman Christian Standard Bible, but any version of the Bible is permissible.

Life Skills, Service, and Leadership are at the forefront of our Mission as Educators for the students at NMBCS.

Core Values and Philosophy of Education

North Myrtle Beach Christian School seeks to spiritually develop students to live for Christ.
NMBCS encourages each student to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, to show Christ-like love for others, to exhibit Godly character, to grow in discipleship, and to view service as a high calling.  This biblical worldview will enable students to live effectively in this world. (Proverbs 3:5-6, Matthew 16: 24-26, John 14:6, Philippians 4:8)

North Myrtle Beach Christian School academically prepares students for life.
NMBCS seeks to challenge and inspire students to appreciate learning, think critically, apply knowledge, and grow in wisdom and understanding, with the goal of preparing students to succeed in college and/or career while impacting their world for Jesus Christ. (Proverbs 2:1-11, John 17:15-18)

North Myrtle Beach Christian School assists students in discovering their gifts and abilities.
God has a plan for each student and has designed each one unique to achieve that purpose.  NMBCS strives to help students identify their strengths, weaknesses, passions, and talents, enabling them to fully live out their faith and pursue God’s plan to the fullest.  (Jeremiah 29:11, John 10:10, Ephesians 2:10)

North Myrtle Beach Christian School operates under God’s authority and leadership.
NMBCS follows biblical principles, demonstrates integrity, stewards all available resources, encourages stakeholder participation, exhibits a Christ-like witness, and seeks God’s leading in all matters.  Each Board, faculty, and staff member testifies to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and commits to perform each duty assigned with the utmost of excellence.  (Proverbs 16:9, Matthew 6:33, 1 Corinthians 10:31, Colossians 3:23)

North Myrtle Beach Christian School fosters a nurturing environment.
NMBCS strives to cultivate an environment in which each student is valued, nurtured, and loved.  Likewise, each student is taught to respect and love others.  Board, faculty, and staff members are mature Christian role models who strive to carry out their responsibilities with love and effectiveness.  NMBCS partners with parents in the spiritual and educational development of their students, and actively seek parental involvement.  (Deuteronomy 6:6-7, Psalms 78:4, Psalms 133:1, 1 Corinthians 13, Ephesians 4:29)
