Since 1950, Bellevue Christian School has been guided by a clear mission and values: to prepare young people to live faithfully and fully for God in a rapidly changing world. That mission is not just a statement on a page—it’s a living, active vision that shapes what we teach, how we teach, and the way we walk alongside students every day.
At BCS, education is not simply about academics. It’s about shaping disciples who love God, love others, and use their gifts to make an impact in the world. This conviction comes to life through three foundational beliefs: knowing is doing, teaching is modeling, and the ultimate goal of education is discipleship.
In today’s world, knowledge is everywhere. But at BCS, we believe knowledge without application falls short of God’s design. Scripture reminds us that faith without works is dead, and Jesus Himself taught, “If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.”
That’s why we integrate service and action into the student experience. In the classroom, your children don’t just learn biblical truths—they practice them. Whether it’s younger students learning kindness and responsibility by caring for one another, or high schoolers serving in the community, students are constantly encouraged to live out what they learn.
For us, education doesn’t end when the bell rings. It continues on the basketball court, in the band room, during student-led service projects, and in countless everyday interactions. Knowing becomes doing, and doing shapes character.
At the heart of Bellevue Christian School are the people—teachers, coaches, and staff who are deeply committed to Christ. For us, teaching goes beyond lectures and lesson plans. It’s about modeling what it means to live faithfully. Treating others with love and respect, and navigating challenges with wisdom rooted in God’s Word.
Jesus taught not only with His words but also with His life. In the same way, our educators embody the values they teach, showing children what discipleship looks like in real time. From the classroom to extracurricular activities, your child sees faith integrated into every interaction.
This commitment also extends to the broader school culture. Whether it’s a tough game on the field, a challenging group project, or a school-wide chapel service, we strive to model Christ-centered community in everything we do. Students learn that education is not just about information—it’s about transformation and action.
At the core of everything we do is a singular goal: discipleship. While we prepare young people for college, careers, and leadership in a complex world, our highest aim is to help them grow as followers of Christ.
This means teaching children to seek first the kingdom of God in every part of their lives. It means equipping them to live with integrity, courage, and compassion—ready to serve others and bring light into whatever calling God leads them to.
Discipleship shapes not only our curriculum but also our approach to athletics, the arts, and student life. When students join a choir, they’re learning more than music—they’re discovering how their gifts can glorify God. When they step onto the soccer field, they’re developing more than physical skill—they’re learning teamwork, perseverance, and humility. In every experience, the deeper goal is always to draw closer to Christ.
For more than 75 years, Bellevue Christian School has remained committed to preparing young people to live faithfully and fully for God. By weaving together rigorous academics, intentional discipleship, and vibrant community life, we aim to provide more than an education—we provide a foundation for life.
We believe that knowing is doing, teaching is modeling, and discipleship is the goal. These values don’t just guide us; they define us. They shape how our teachers lead, how our students grow, and how our entire community comes together in faith.
At BCS, education is about more than what children know—it’s about who they become. And we are honored to walk alongside families as we raise up the next generation to live wholeheartedly for Christ.
