BCA has been great for my children. They used a great curriculum, including Bob Jones, Apologia, Saxon, and Abeka. My children have graduated and gone on to college, enrolling without any problems and excelling academically throughout their college years. If you're looking for a school that provides an excellent education but also makes Christ the center of the education, this could be the school for you.

We love the childcare at BCA. Such sweet ladies. Our daughter was well prepared for Kindergarten after going through their Pre K program. It was an easy transition!

Bethel Christian Academy has been a great experience for our children all around. Small classroom sizes, relaxed atmosphere, and such a caring and loving group of teachers and administrators. Bethel may be small, but it's love of providing a Christ-centered education is abundant.
