Second Baptist School

In 1946, Second Baptist School was established with the purpose of providing a place of biblical instruction and learning where students in pre-kindergarten through grade 12 could grow academically, spiritually, physically and socially. Nearly 75 years later, we continue to do just that.

Second Baptist School is a Christian college preparatory school committed to developing a biblical worldview in students across education programs that include academics, arts and athletics. Upon graduation, we expect your child to possess the character, knowledge and skills to succeed in college and beyond. This happens through grounding our philosophy of education in God’s Word and hiring faculty and staff who love God, love students and love the pursuit of excellence in their craft.

As we look to the future, the ultimate focus of Second Baptist School is to serve as a leader in education, both in Houston and in the global community preparing students to think critically, live biblically and lead courageously to impact the world for Jesus Christ. Leadership is a high calling and requires a clear mind, strong character and unshakable courage. In the last two years, Second Baptist School has doubled our formal leadership and mentoring opportunities for students, benefiting our school through student engagement and development.

At SBS, your child will be known individually, and your child’s gifts will be nurtured in a compassionate environment, allowing him or her to take risks and reach higher than ever thought possible. Life on our campus is fulfilled by a strong community of faith. Relationships are formed here that last decades and strengthen the school we love so well.

The mission of Second Baptist School is to equip students to think critically, live biblically and lead courageously to impact the world for Jesus Christ. Our passion is to bring every student into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ while equipping them to do with excellence that which God has called them to do.

Second Baptist School is committed to providing opportunities for students to achieve educational excellence in academics, arts and athletics. A well-rounded SBS student engages beyond the classroom, the stage or the field; they are learning to think critically, live biblically and lead courageously as they participate in the variety of student life activities offered at SBS.

Second Baptist School provides Christ-centered education through an aligned Bible curriculum, faith-based programming and a robust offering of spiritual formation activities. Each grade level offers Bible instruction that builds year-to-year to encourage students' personal relationships with Christ. Students also attend Chapel each week to worship as a community of believers. Opportunities for families to fellowship with students are offered throughout the year such as Convocation, the Thanksgiving Praise Service and student-run performances.
