School Notes:

    • Each year, Bracken Christian School lives out its mission to “…partner with Christian families through the leadership and guidance of the Holy Spirit to provide an excellent education within the context of a Biblical worldview, equipping students to impact their culture for Christ.” This year is no different. Our theme for the year, At BCS we LOL, is based and rooted in the belief that we are to live our faith out loud! With our culture and world at an all-time high of forces undermining the family unit and all things Christian, we have an obligation and mandate from the Lord to live our faith out loud so that others may see the love and truth of Christ in us and through us—and often, in spite of us!! It’s hard to imagine a more ideal surrounding than Bracken for this type of living out loud to be reflected in our faculty, students, parents, and the community we touch every day. Romans 12:1 tells us, “…to offer our bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God…” This means that daily, we are to be walking, talking representatives of Christ and His incredible love for us. My heart’s desire is that Bracken be a place in which we can foster that and live it out on a daily basis through word, deed, and thought. Join me as we begin an exciting new year and look forward to the many opportunities and blessings that come only from the Lord. LOL, Brig A. Thompson, Head of School

School Reviews:

  • Recommended July 09,2012 - We have three children at BCS and love it! Two are in elementary and one going to middle school this year. BCS stays true to it''s Christian mission, the teachers are amazing and genuinely care for the students. The academics are challenging, discipline is consistant, and I praise God we found BCS. Best school!*-Posted by Parent *
