Excellent. Rooted. Prepared.
Byron Center Christian School’s mission is to provide for the children of the Christian community an excellent education, rooted in God’s Word, that prepares them for lifelong service in God’s Kingdom. In order to achieve that mission, our teaching staff uses a framework called Teaching for Transformation (TfT) to ensure we are distinctively Christian in our entire educational process. This allows us to invite, nurture, and empower both teachers and students to fulfill their role in God’s story through engaging learning experiences.
We strive for excellence through lessons that are intentionally designed to achieve short-term learning goals. We root and prepare our students through lessons that are also designed to develop long-term learning habits and practices. In this way we focus on the whole student, embracing deeper learning practices that allow us to accomplish our mission one lesson and subject at a time!

Our Approach
We teach from a Biblical perspective and foundation, providing our students with the wisdom, discernment, and creativity to bring healing to a broken world. We use the Teaching for Transformation (TfT) framework to intentionally design learning experiences so students see God’s Story and practice living it! We partner with our parents and churches to ensure our students are trained in the way they should go so they can perform their duties in this world to the glory of God, to their own well-being, and to the welfare of others.
Our Staff
The staff at Byron Center Christian School is passionate about drawing students into a deeper relationship with Christ. The teachers and staff are spiritually mature, professional, and motivated to have an eternal impact in the life of your child! They model discipleship and lifelong learning, and when teachers learn more, kids learn more! Our teachers use God’s Word as the basis of truth and learning in every subject area, and challenge children to boldly live out their faith through love, obedience, and service.
Our Curriculum
We use the Teaching For Transformation (TfT) framework to equip our students as disciples and lifelong learners. This framework allows us to educate for faith development and it prepares students for a life of serving God and others. Children are given the opportunity to learn and practice skills that lead to long-term growth and habits. We use a Reformed lens to expose our children to current culture and guide them to discern the heart of God, ultimately leading to choices that reflect Christ.
