School Reviews
5 1/2/2021
What an incredible school! My daughters both currently attend BBCA and I'm so thankful for such a great school. Both girls receive individual assistance in any area they struggle in. They both praise their teachers (Mr. Keeran, Mr. Ramsey, Mrs. Raralio, Mrs. Rawls) and enjoy going to school. Even with Covid-19, the school was prepared and went far beyond ANY recommendations from both CDC and the State of Maryland. I am so glad we found the little gem in Bowie. I highly recommend this school!

This school has been a huge blessing for my daughter. The teachers and staff have a genuine love for the students, and a strong desire to see them succeed. The academic standards are great and the classes are small, so each student receives a lot of individualized attention. I highly recommend this school to any parent who seeks a loving environment and an excellent education for their child.

My children went to Belair Baptist the first day it opened and my eldest child was in the first graduating class. I can't tell you how much everyone helped my family. Pastor and Mrs. Kohl give their whole lives to these kids. Mr. Kieran was amazing and a great mentor to all the kids. We were blessed to have our kids attend this school and I would do it again if I could. Please go see this school and consider them. You will not regret it.
