BUFORD PRESBYTERIAN WEEKDAY SCHOOL
1242 Buford Highway Sugar Hill, GA 30518 770-945-6711
OUR PURPOSE
The
primary purpose of Buford Presbyterian Weekday School is rooted in the scripture
of Proverbs 22:6 "Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old,
he will not depart from it." We believe we can be an essential tool in this
training by encouraging the development of the whole child; spiritually,
socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually. We strive to provide an
environment rich in personal, loving experiences that will underscore the
child's unique abilities. Believing the school years are the most formative, it
is our privilege to be a part of laying a Christ-like foundation in their hearts
and minds.
