Strategic Plan

We find and follow our identity in Christ. Our teaching reflects Scripture and Biblical principles, denominational diversity, worship, and prayer while balancing truth and grace as we become faith-filled learners.

We transform learners to actively live out their faith in their communities. Through purposeful discipleship, students are guided to become curious thinkers, courageous designers, joyful collaborators, and gracious communicators.

We equip students to be salt and light, demonstrating empathy, serving others, and participating in culture with a Christian worldview. Learners will engage with difficult questions posed by a rapidly changing world.

BCS is committed to intellectual virtues such as humility, tenacity, honesty, and fair-mindedness in a vibrant community. Students gain the knowledge and skills to ask deep questions that connect faith and learning in all areas of life.

We foster belonging by creating lasting memories and ensuring a safe, healthy environment. Community members build lifelong relationships and strong networks of support among school, church, and home.

Goal Statement: We will focus on strengthening our academic program and making a deep connection between faith and learning to equip students with the skills and knowledge to engage a rapidly changing world.
