Complete Variable Tuition Application
If you have applied for Variable Tuition, take a few minutes to make sure your application is complete so that BCA can ensure your tuition level is a right fit for your family.

Schedule Summer Health Appointments
BCA requires up-to-date physical exam documentation for all new students, students entering 4th, 7th, and 10th grade, and all high school athletes. In addition, if your student has an allergy, make sure you ask your health care provider to complete an Allergy Action Plan.

Summer Assignments
June 2026
Dear Parents and Students,
Children learn best when instruction is continuous. A long summer vacation in which students do no schoolwork disrupts the rhythm of learning, leads to forgetting, and requires time to be spent reviewing old material when students return to school in the fall. Summer homework can help prevent this.
Below is the summer work. Students should look for the classes they are taking and do that work for the summer. If you have any questions, please reach out to me by email.
Have a great summer!
Mrs. Redman

Time to order uniforms! (Grades 6-12)

At Bradford Christian Academy, we are committed to supporting a positive school culture and see our dress code policy as an opportunity to demonstrate respectful, professional attire as well as school unity. We feel strongly that uniforms have many benefits to our community, including cohesion, consistency, and a positive environment within our upper school. Once purchased, all uniform tops need to be embroidered with the BCA logo via the Lands’ End website. This provides immediate clarity for parents, students, teachers, and administration about whether items are in line with dress code policy. For a helpful table itemizing middle and upper school uniform requirements, click here. Watch for sales throughout the summer!

Note: Grades K-5 follow the dress code guidelines outlined in the parent/student handbook and are not required to order official BCA uniforms from Lands’ End.

Register for K-5 After School Program
Students from grades K through 5 may remain after pick-up time if they are registered for BCA’s Homework Club. Homework Club runs Monday through Thursday between 3:00 and 4:00 p.m. Students in K through 5 who are not picked up by 3:00 are automatically sent to Homework Club and will be billed accordingly. More details are available on the registration form.
Note: middle and high school students must be picked up by 4PM. BCA doesn’t offer an after school program for these grades.
