Bible in the Schools

Bible in the Schools The mission of Bible in the Schools is to advance Bible education for students in Hamilton County public schools. No tax dollars are used.

Established in 1922, the Bible program is privately funded by charitable donations through Bible in the Schools and is offered as a free gift to students in grades 6-12. Bible teachers are licensed and certified educators, hired by the school district. The academic curriculum is constitutionally-approved, and Bible classes are inclusive for all students. All lessons link to the State Standards set

by the Tennessee Department of Education for Bible. Over 5,300 students completed a Bible course in the 2023-2024 academic year. Through community generosity, 91% of public school students in Hamilton County, Tennessee, have access to a Bible education, for course credit. Public School Bible Study Committee (dba) Bible in the Schools holds official nonprofit status as a 501(c)(3), and all gifts are tax deductible.
