Bethany Christian School
School Notes Overview:
Bethany Christian School is an elementary school educating students from Kindergarten to the eighth grade. Using the Abeka© Curriculum, Bethany strives to provide each student with a Christian education, and a strong focus on academics. As a result of this curriculum, our kindergarten class will start reading by the end of their first semester. Classes are also provided periodically in Art, Physical Education, Computer, and Music. As the staff becomes available, expansion of these programs and the addition of elementary Spanish is anticipated. Students begin each day with classroom chapel and Bible lessons and enjoy a weekly school worship service, with visiting speakers and missionaries from the staff and local area as well as guests from around the world. Cross cultural studies are taught as often as teachers are made available. With a low teacher to student ratio and special helps when needed, Bethany Christian School is seeing great progress in the students who attend. As a test school for the Stanford 10© standardized testing program in 2001, Bethany has shown the ability to compete nationally with current academic standards. Students are accepted at Bethany Christian School based on their need and compatibility with our programs. Scholarships and sponsorship are available to those who qualify....

Jennifer VanHekken, who teaches at the Bethany Christian School in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., had the best of intentions when she asked her eighth-grade students to surrender their cell phones, iPods and laptops and spend 18 hours in her classroom. No talking was allowed. Reading was the only sanctioned activity. And a bathroom break was the only excuse to leave the room. - PATCH WORK (Miami Herald)
