Athens Bible School is accepting applications for students with a record of good behavior and a desire to learn both academics and the Bible.  Athens Bible School welcomes children with a wide range of abilities and does not discriminate against any student because of race, color, sex, handicap, or national origin.

The Application Process

Our admission process begins with a short walking tour of the school’s facilities and then a family conference with our President or Assistant Principal.  This may be scheduled by calling the ABS office at (256) 232-3525.  We ask that you please bring a copy of the student’s current report card and a copy of the student’s latest standardized test scores.

After the conference the parents should pick up or download the admissions packet (see below) to complete and return to the office as soon as possible.  There is a registration fee of $100.00 that must be paid when the application is submitted.  This fee is non-refundable unless the student is denied admission by the school.
