An Intentional Introduction to Elementary School
At BCA, we look at kindergarten as the start of your child’s elementary school journey. We start each school year by building the relationships and routines that create a classroom culture in which all students are socially and emotionally ready for productive learning. Throughout the school year, the teacher adjusts work for each individual student so they’re able to progress at their own pace. Because we keep our classroom sizes manageable, teachers give students one-on-one assistance and instruction whenever necessary.
Enriched Learning

As a Christ-centered school, students experience God’s love through lessons, teacher guidance, and daily interactions with their BCA lower school community.

In addition to providing students with social and emotional support, BCA ensures a safe learning environment through conducting background checks on all employees, exterior cameras to monitor the school grounds, and one main door that is monitored with a camera/buzzer system for entry.
