Dynamic student-centered classes emphasize collaboration and discussion, project-based and inquiry-based learning. Students feel valued and have a voice.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about the school! The teachers and staff go above and beyond to get to know your child and help them excel in all areas of their education. The performing arts department blows me away with their plays and musicals and the level of art instruction is superb! I love that my kids are receiving a solid education from a Christian Worldview! Would highly recommend!

All three of my children attended BCA and it has been a blessing to them and to our family. The two that have already graduated from BCA went on to be accepted into the colleges of their choice with scholarships for academics. BCA is a warm, nurturing, Faith-based environment with excellent academics that offers unique opportunities for a small school. I wouldn`t want my kids anywhere else!

I truly can't say enough good things about BCA! My daughter will graduate this year with skills and confidence - ready for college! With the experienced faculty, she has developed a beautiful soprano voice and has a commanding presence on stage. The performing arts at BCA have greatly increased her leadership capacity. She has become a leader on and off the stage thanks to the amazing opportunities that BCA offered.
