Boyd-Buchanan School is a co-educational private Christian school located near the Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Founded in 1952, the school is a college-preparatory school for children in Pre-Kindergarten through grade 12. Currently, the school has more than 900 students enrolled. ==History== Boyd-Buchanan was founded in 1952 as the Chattanooga Bible School. It had been planned for almost a decade before the resources and students were available to start it. When the school opened on September 4, 1952 on Vine Street in downtown Chattanooga, it charged $3 per week as the fee for attendance and had 130 children in grades first through sixth.〔Stone, Karen P: ''Educating for Eternity: A History of Boyd Buchanan School.''

(Walden: Waldenhouse 2003), 77.〕 In the summer of 1959, the school's board of directors changed the school name from the Chattanooga Bible School to Boyd-Buchanan as way to emphasize that the education the children received was not just about the Bible; their education included everything they needed to prepare them for further education and life in general after they left the school.〔Stone, Karen P: ''Educating for Eternity: A History of Boyd Buchanan School.'' (Walden: Waldenhouse 2003), 151.〕 The school moved to its current campus off of Moore Road in the fall of 1961.〔Stone, Karen P: ''Educating for Eternity: A History of Boyd Buchanan School.'' (Walden: Waldenhouse 2003), 84.〕 By 1978, Boyd-Buchanan had extended its education program from prekindergarten-12th grade.〔Stone, Karen P: ''Educating for Eternity: A History of Boyd Buchanan School.'' (Walden: Waldenhouse 2003), 177.〕 The high school building was constructed in 1999-2000 which relieved some of the extreme crowding in other facilities, and the new fieldhouse was finished in time for the fall of 2006.〔http://bbschool.org/believe/history.aspx 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Boyd-Buchanan School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
