Who We Are

Mission Statement

To foster a lifelong commitment to learning and faith, preparing students to lead with wisdom, integrity, and
compassion in service to God and others.

​

Our Beliefs

Buckner Fanning School at Mission Springs (BFSMS) exists to foster student success and the love of God and others through heart, soul, mind and strength. We recognize that positive self-esteem rises through self-respect as a result of hard work, accomplishments, respect for others, and sincere encouragement from our faculty and staff. We consider this piece to be an integral part of our education program. We are dedicated to our students and their families to ensure we are delivering the best education and most positive experience possible.

​

The school is rooted in the unconditional love and grace of God. With our nondenominational Christian education, we embrace students from a variety of faiths. Through Bible study and chapel, prayer and
studying beliefs, we help students grow their faith through a personal relationship with God.

We emphasize the “Three Rs” for a happy and productive life:

• Reverence for God and all of His creation

• Respect for one's self and one's fellow man

• Responsibility for contributing to making this a better world
