I am a parent of 2 boys that went to BCS. It was the best decision that I have ever made for my boys. One was K-12, and the other K-10 grades. Mr. Myers is hands down God sent to BCS.

Mr. and Mrs. Myers are the best. You can see and feel the love of Jesus in the way they treat others. Your children are safe with them. You are blessed parent to have this couple in your life. I feel blessed to know them.

I am a parent and teacher at Burley Christian School. All the teachers and staff are amazing and care deeply about the students, not only about their learning, but about their character. Biblically based curriculum.

WAS a parent. Now a grandparent of 4 second gen attendees. Some of our teachers even attend students' private birthday parties. (Quite a time investment for a teacher). The student body has since over-doubled in size and offers teachers who are closely connected to the student. Class sizes are small and tuitions remain as low they were 30 years ago. An excellent private school!

Amazing school. Really over joyed that God put me in such an amazing place to learn His word. Excited to say I'm an Alumni.
