BCA Students are High Achievers!
In the spring of each year our first grade through high school students take standardized tests.  Our students continually score in the top 15% - 20% in the nation and significantly above grade level.  Grade Mean Equivalent scores in elementary school (April 2009) are as follows:

• 1st grade scored at 2nd grade, 9th month
• 2nd grade scored at 4th grade, 4th month
• 3rd grade scored at 5th grade, 8th month
• 4th grade scored at 9th grade, 4th month
• 5th grade scored at 8th grade, 3rd month

BCA Students are Great Readers!
BCA has an excellent Phonics Based Reading Program. Research supports the fact that using phonics is the most effective means of teaching developmental reading. We teach phonics in K3, K4, K5, 1st and 2nd grades.

BCA Students are Not Lost in the Crowd!
The class size in K5 Kindergarten through 5th grade is about 17 – 20 students.  Class size makes a difference with a positive correlation between lower class size and student achievement.

BCA Students Know the Boundaries!
One of the chief roles of the teacher is to create an environment in the classroom that promotes learning.  Students can learn much better in well ordered classrooms.  Consequently, our faculty utilizes effective classroom management models and behavioral approaches that communicate expectations, monitor pupil behavior, promote positive behaviors, and redirect inappropriate behavior.

BCA Students are Loved and Welcomed!
There is a positive correlation between an engaging learning environment and student achievement.  Our learning environment is characterized by warmth, with empathetic, caring, loving and nurturing teachers who create an orderly classroom.  Our teachers provide ongoing positive reinforcement, praise, and feedback. We believe education is relational and our teachers work hard at maintaining positive relationships with our students.

BCA Students are Discipled in the Faith

BCA wants every child to understand basic Christian truths and to be given the opportunity to respond positively to Christ’s good news.  Biblical principles taught each day in the classroom will become the basis for a child’s values, and also the basis for future decisions, choices, and actions.  Through the combination of Christian teachers, classroom devotions, chapel services, service events, and daily discipleship in the Christian faith, our students are molded into who they are and who they will become.
