I attended Bell Shoals for my middle school years. The curriculum was challenging and prepared me for rigorous high school courses and the teachers cared deeply for their students. (Shoutout to Mrs. Kline, Ms. Harding, and Coach Heath, who are still at the Academy positively impacting their students!)Fast forward a few years and I returned to the Academy as a substitute teacher! My experience as an employee at the school was just as spectacular as when I attended as a student. I would have loved to have stayed on as a full-time teacher, but my calling was in a slightly different direction. I am now a Licensed Mental Health Counselor serving children and families in the greater Tampa area. I would not be where I am today without the positive impact Bell Shoals had on my life.

Amazing school, amazing culture, and unmatched elementary/middle school sports program.I really can’t put into words what the staff, teacher, and volunteers do everyday to cultivate an environment our family will never leave. Can you start offering High School?!!!

BSA has been one of the greatest decisions we have made for our son. He has been in the 2 and 3’s class and has learned so much. Without a doubt our son feels loved by his teachers’ and the faculty. Everyone at BSA goes above and beyond for the students and puts their well-being first!

Both of my boys have attended the Academy since kindergarten. They are now in 8th grade and 5th grade and it was the best academic decision that my wife and I made. To see them grow over the years with a Christ centered curriculum while being supported by the staff and teachers has been invaluable. I am confident that my boys will leave BSA with a strong foundation and will be very well prepared as they move on to the next stage of their schooling. Academics will always be the priority, but I would also like to point out that the athletic programs that are also offered at the academy are wonderful. At a very early age (4th grade) you can get your son or daughter involved in a variety of team sports. Overall, our experience with the school, teachers, administration, and the many parent teacher volunteers has been tremendous. They have also recently renovated and upgraded the facilities, so if you are thinking about BSA, I would encourage you to visit and see for yourself how wonderful this school really is.

The staff is amazing and so helpful, the teachers are highly qualified, moreso than most teachers at other preschools. So many educational opportunities are provided and my child loves the learning activities in the Early Learning Center. Their academics are high quality and they have a variety of extra curricular activities and plenty of opportunities for parents to be involved.

This is our second year at Bell Shoals and we absolutely love this school. We have one child in the Academy and one in the Early Learning Center. You can tell the teachers truly love what they do and they are so loving to the students. Finding this school has been a blessing to our family!

Bell Shoals Baptist Academy has been an ineradicable blessing to our family. Our four children had the privilege of attending the Academy. The Academy well prepared them spiritually and educationally for life. Two of our children graduated High School with AP Honors in the top 10% of their class and have gone off to college. Our other two are currently in the top 5% of their class. They take AP and Duel enrollment classes and are well prepared for the task. We feel that the education, spiritual and social experience our children received at Bell Shoals molded them into incredible people. We would highly recommend Bell Shoals to anyone seeking to find a superior, all encompassing school for their family. Bell Shoals is not just about education, but about helping families become exceptional people giving back and serving one another.

My children have been going to Bell Shoals Baptist Academy for five years now, starting at the preschool and going into the Academy. I couldnt be more appreciative of the teachers at this school. They all have gone above and beyond for my children, becoming like family to us! I believe the schools curriculum is superior to others in our area and weve enjoyed all the extra curricular programs they offer too.

A very loving, Godly, family-focused and academically strong environment. My four children have all attended here and I highly recommend this Academy and ELC.

We have one child in the ELC program and couldnt be happier here at BSBA. Not only are they academically superior, but the staff, teachers, and volunteers really make this school feel like home. We look forward to many more years with our Academy family.

This is my 5th year at Bell Shoals Academy and we could not have been any happier with our decision. Our daughter graduated from BSBA, and our 2 boys started in the ELC (early learning center) now in the academy. Every teacher that has been part of our children lives have made such a great impact and left a mark in their lives. BSBA is like home to us. We are so welcomed and have made life long friendships!
