An educationally sound and spiritually enriching environment provides a context for a balanced approach to learning that recognizes the need for development of knowledge, attitudes and skills. While the teaching-learning process involves an interchange between the teacher and learner, the focus at SBC is on the learner. Students carry the primary responsibility for their own learning. Teachers are primarily facilitators of the learning process. As such they are motivators and models of learning, faith and conduct.
Evaluations are an integral part of learning.

An independent governing board, which had been working for several years, was formally organized under the name Steinbach Bible Society in September of 1938, with charter members from four local churches. They erected the first school building on First Street in downtown Steinbach in the fall of 1939, beginning classes in the building in early 1940. The school was founded to provide an opportunity for young people to expand their Bible knowledge. Teachers taught by example that outreach is an integral aspect of furthering biblical knowledge.
