At the heart of our mission is the desire to train our students to love the Lord and be obedient to His Word. To this end, ABS offers daily Bible classes for all students. Students also participate in a daily chapel assembly, which provides the opportunity to reflect on a message from God's word as well as to sing and pray every morning.
Athens Bible School has much to offer: the tradition and experience that comes with sixty-five years of service to the students and the community, and the natural excitement of children who love their school, where they are sure to receive a “Better Education on a Better Foundation!”
