High school is a pivotal time in a student’s life. It’s a season of discovery, growth, and preparation—a bridge between childhood and adulthood. This is where students begin to form their identity, deepen their faith, and chart their path forward.
At Bellevue Christian School, we don’t take this season lightly. We are committed to walking alongside students during these critical years with a holistic, Christ-centered education that shapes not only what they know, but who they become.
Faith, Academics, and Purpose—Integrated
At BCS, high school isn’t just about earning grades or getting into college. It’s about helping students understand who they are in Christ, how they’ve been gifted, and how they are called to serve in the world. Our approach to education is deeply rooted in our Christian mission: to prepare young people to live faithfully and courageously in a broken world.
That mission is woven into every class, every conversation, and every extracurricular activity. Our students are challenged academically, supported emotionally, and encouraged spiritually—because we believe all three are essential for true growth.
Whether it’s exploring a complex piece of literature, wrestling with big questions in Bible class, or presenting a senior thesis, our students are invited to think critically, live faithfully, and engage the world with both compassion and confidence.
Academic Excellence That Prepares Students for Life
BCS offers a rigorous academic program designed to prepare students for college and beyond. Our courses are intentionally crafted to stretch students intellectually while allowing them to pursue their interests and passions.
High school students have access to a wide variety of subjects, including:
- Honors and AP courses in English, Science, Math, and History
- Bible and Theology classes that promote deep spiritual formation
- World Language programs
- Creative electives in visual arts, music, and technology
- Capstone projects and senior thesis presentations
These academic offerings are about more than just checking boxes. We help students develop the habits of mind and heart they’ll need for a lifetime of learning: curiosity, resilience, humility, and integrity.
And while our curriculum is designed to challenge, our students are never left to navigate it alone. With small class sizes and dedicated faculty, every student is known, supported, and encouraged to thrive. Teachers are not only subject matter experts—they’re mentors who invest in their students’ spiritual and personal growth.
A Christ-Centered Community
During high school, students search for meaning, connection, and a place to belong. The BCS community offers just that. It’s a safe, supportive environment where students are surrounded by caring adults and peers who share their values and encourage their faith.
Through weekly chapels, small groups, service opportunities, and authentic spiritual conversations in the classroom, our students are constantly invited to explore and deepen their relationship with Christ. Faith isn’t something that’s set aside for Sundays—it’s part of daily life at our school.
This spiritual foundation is what makes a BCS education truly unique. Our goal is not just to produce well-rounded graduates, but to nurture disciples of Jesus who are equipped to serve with wisdom, courage, and compassion.
Leadership and Life Skills
High school is not only about learning facts and passing tests—it’s about becoming the kind of person who can make a difference. At BCS, we’re committed to developing the whole student by offering opportunities for leadership, service, and personal growth.
Students can take part in:
- Student Government
- National Honor Society
- Athletics and team leadership
- Worship team and chapel planning
- Community service and mission projects
- Clubs and student-led initiatives
These experiences help students build confidence, develop a servant’s heart, and discover their unique voice. They also prepare students to step into leadership roles in college, in their careers, and in their communities.
The Power of Relationships
One of the most valuable aspects of the BCS high school experience is the strong relationships between students and their teachers, coaches, and mentors. In a world where so many young people feel overlooked or isolated, BCS offers a different kind of high school journey—one where students are truly seen.
Teachers at BCS take the time to know their students as individuals. They encourage them to grow not only academically, but also emotionally and spiritually. Our average class size is 17 to ensure teachers can provide the attention each student needs. This culture of care and connection helps students feel safe to take risks, ask questions, and be their authentic selves.
And because we’re a PreK–12 school, our students benefit from being part of a close-knit, multi-generational community that supports them from start to finish.
A Lasting Legacy
BCS high school graduates don’t just leave with diplomas—they leave with a legacy. They become alumni who are making a difference in their communities, churches, families, and workplaces. From engineers and entrepreneurs to missionaries and educators, our alumni carry with them the values and experiences they gained at BCS.
And many of them return, as parents, mentors, and even faculty, continuing the legacy of Christian education and lifelong learning that began decades ago.
Preparing for What’s Next
While high school is a formative time, it’s also a launching pad. At BCS, we help students discern their calling and prepare for life beyond graduation—whether that’s college, a career path, ministry, or something entirely new.
Our college counseling team provides individualized guidance throughout the high school journey, including:
- Academic planning
- College application support
- Standardized test preparation
- Career exploration
- Faith-based decision-making about the future
The results speak for themselves: Nearly 70% of our 2024 class graduated with a 3.5 GPA or better. And around 97% of BCS graduates go on to attend a wide range of universities across the country and the world. But more importantly, they leave with a strong sense of purpose, ready to serve and lead wherever God calls them next.
