The mission of BCS is to glorify God through the training and nurturing of students in their spiritual, academic, physical, emotional, and social development. This is achieved through a Christ-centered education based on biblical truth, which leads to the formation of the character of God within. God’s character imparts wisdom, knowledge, and love, helping our school community develop a world-view that will impact the world for Christ.

We believe that human beings were originally created in the image of God and in spite of the fall, each individual is regarded as unique and capable of godly character and expression through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. In Christ we are chosen, holy, and dearly loved (Col. 3:12). While we believe sin entered the world as a result of Adam’s fall, God’s redemption through the person of Jesus Christ allows us to live holy lives. Our emphasis, therefore, is on the profound message of God’s grace through Christ in the students, transforming them, so that they might grow in grace and more fully express the image of God in their lives and that they might know the mystery of Christ in them, the hope of glory (Col. 2:27).

The Christian life is one where the individual’s faith in God is integrated into all of life’s experiences. Our desire is to establish and expand the awareness of this way of life and set it into practice; to establish a biblical and Christ-centered worldview, being able to discern from a godly perspective. It is our conclusion that life is hard and our children need wisdom and strong godly character to successfully face the vital issues involved in their daily lives.

We believe that God has bestowed on each individual certain innate abilities. We are called to educe from the child and help to develop that which God has placed in them, following the scriptural directive, “Train up a child in the way he should go . . .” (Prov. 22:6). We believe that a child’s gifts are released as they learn to walk under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

We believe that education is both caught and taught; that the teacher is called to be a mentor, to come alongside the student, to model Christian attitudes, and to provide guidance in learning the skills of life. The academic program, while stressing basics, will also give emphasis toward skill in critical thinking, arriving at conclusions, and developing personal conviction. Development toward this end begins with the teaching exchange carried out by the instructor. The student will be challenged by high academic standards and the expectation of performance at the highest level possible.

Foremost in the training of a child is the family. The school is a secondary means of child development and looks upon the involvement of the family as a key component. To be an environment of whole learning, the school desires a partnership of faith, family, quality education, and community.

Our desired end is to produce students who are healthy, spiritually dynamic, mentally alert, disciplined, academically prepared, and ready to interact meaningfully with each other, our society, and our world. We endeavor to instill a love of learning that will take them far beyond their formal schooling years and into a lifetime of challenges and growth.
