Needs Asssessment“An education leader promotes the

success of every student by advocating,

nurturing, and sustaining a school culture and instructional program conducive to student learning and staff professional growth” (ISLLC

2008, Standard 2).

BIBLICAL INTEGRATION IS A KEY ELEMENT TO THE CULTURE OF OUR SCHOOL. WE DO NOT SEEK TO INTEGRATE BUT SATURATE OUR CURRICULAR CONTENT

WITH BIBLICAL EMPHASIS SO OUR STUDENTS FORM A THOROUGHLY BIBLICAL

WORLDVIEW.

Our Purpose Statement

Tacoma Baptist Schools exist to glorify God by developing

DiscipleLeaders through a Christ-centered community

that is growing in faith, knowledge, and service.

THREE EVIDENCES FROM STAKEHOLDER FEEDBACK AND CLASSROOM OBSERVATIONS• BEGINNING CLASS WITH PRAYER HAS DIMINISHED SIGNIFICANTLY• BIBLICAL INTEGRATION/SATURATION HAS BEEN NEGLECTED IN MANY SUBJECTS• CONCERN HAS BEEN VOICED FROM LONG-TIME FACULTY DUE TO PEER OBSERVATIONS

Evidence for CIPSince 2014, Tacoma Baptist Schools

has employed 26 new teachers.18 of these teachers have never taught in

a Christian school prior to coming to TBS.

Biblical integration is emphasized to new faculty

but the implementation has been lacking.
