The Elementary school was founded on August 31, 1988 under the leadership of Gary Reichard and had an enrollment of 10 students. The grade school has steadily grown and expanded, some years reaching an enrollment of over 100 students.

The Middle School was restarted in 2022 and continues the strong foundation laid in Preschool and Elementary.

Bookcliff Christian School began as a one room preschool over 30 years ago. Likewise, the Elementary school began in one room. Now, Bookcliff Christian School has two preschool classrooms for ages three to four, two pre-kindergarten classrooms for ages four to five, a K-5 elementary, and a 6-8 middle school with plans to continue adding grades each year. Each classroom is led by highly gifted, experienced, and certified teachers. The students receive a quality, well-rounded education rooted in Christian values and character building preparation.
