At Bradford Christian Academy, we have been preparing our graduates for discipleship, leadership, and service for nearly two decades. BCA students are known, loved, and valued, giving them the confidence needed to pursue excellence in everything they do. How do we accomplish this?
BCA students benefit from a rigorous academic program that gives Upper School students a wide selection of courses (over 85 to choose from), including AP selections, SAT prep, and electives for every area of interest.
Enrichment opportunities inside and outside the classroom allow students to explore the visual and performing arts, technology, sports, clubs, and service learning.
Our competitive athletics program includes 13 high school sports teams, teaching student athletes sportsmanship as well as self-discipline.
Service work, mission trips, student government, chapel, and student organizations provide leadership opportunities for all students, from kindergarten all the way through upper school.

Affording a Bradford Christian Academy Education
As they’re considering school options, so many families approach the cost of private education with one of these strong assumptions:
Assumption 1
If this is the tuition, then we can’t afford this school because we don’t earn enough.
or
Assumption 2
We shouldn’t even bother asking about tuition assistance because I’m sure we earn too much to qualify .
In reality, many families with low and high incomes — and all kinds of income levels in between — do qualify for tuition assistance. Variable tuition is a means of helping as many families as possible afford the best education they can get for their children. The variable tuition system we use at Bradford Christian Academy provides a clear, impartial, and transparent process for determining your eligibility.
Our variable tuition application is simple to complete, and it will equip us to tell you exactly what your tuition will be. After applying for variable tuition, many parents discover Bradford Christian Academy is affordable. Start your application now.

You want your kids to love where they go to school, to be around good people, to come home happy, to enjoy the work they’re doing. With my sons’ experience at BCA, it makes everything joyful and it puts a positive spin on everything we do as a family. It’s not just a place to learn math, science, or English — the teachers feel it is their calling to make sure these kids are not only educated, but growing up to be good people.”
