Bible Studies
At The Yutzy School, daily devotionals and Bible classes are at the heart of our commitment to Christian education, guiding students in their spiritual growth and biblical understanding. All grade levels participate in a Bible class, where students engage with Scripture and apply biblical principles to their lives.

This is a rigorous routine is in addition to Bible class and is designed to deepen students' knowledge of God’s Word through linking, finding, memorization, and practical application activities. This program challenges students to not only learn Scripture but to internalize its truths, equipping them with a strong spiritual foundation for life.
