This page will provide a brief overview of our school and our general philosophy toward education.
The Middle School at BCCA is a community of sixth through eighth grade
students who are in transition from childhood to adolescence. The Middle School program offers daily learning from the Bible
and core subjects taught from a distinctly biblical perspective. During these formative years, it is important to give attention
to the growth and maturity of the whole child. Therefore, special attention is given to developing study skills, personal
responsibility, moral integrity, exploring co-curricular interests, expanding reading, writing and thinking skills, and providing
a robust social environment in which to flourish in mind, body and spirit (Luke 2:52). The key to a vibrant and positive middle school is a highly trained, effective and dedicated faculty. The BCCA faculty
is committed to making an impact on students’ whole lives and recognizes the unique qualities and needs of the Middle
School student. Our teachers understand their intellectual development from concrete operations to abstract thinking and are
aware of the growing spiritual and social needs of students. They realize that each student needs affirmation, correction,
encouragement and a robust environment in which to pursue excellence (Eph. 6:4). The Middle School program expands opportunities
for students in order to allow them to more fully realize their athletic and artistic gifts and abilities. The increase of
the fine arts (choir, praise band, drama, art) presents co-curricular outlets for students in the Middle School. A full compliment
of athletic opportunities provides three full seasons of interscholastic sports competition.
