We know God has a place for each child to grow and thrive in school. Our goal is to help families discern where that may be as they seek where God is calling. No story is the same, so we wanted to share some examples of how our parents decided on BCCS. The following testimony illustrates one way a family ended up in our halls:
This story began when a family moved and began looking for a school that would be “a Christian School community where our children could belong and be nurtured in their faith outside of our home.” They ended up choosing BCCS because of “the fact that the school was using Teaching for Transformation (TfT) and the inclusion support services available via the ESS department.”
“We greatly appreciated the intentionality of BCCS pairing up our new family with current families to connect with and be a support in a year of transition. They were there to ask questions to - from the big to the small, and have become friends as our kids have continued to journey together at BCCS.”
They also shared about one of their children who was not where they needed to be in their learning journey. “Her teacher and support staff rallied around her and had her reading at grade level by the end of the year, much to our amazement! One of their other students had a on experience where “It is amazing to see how God put her with the exact teacher she needed. She has been cared for not just academically, but her heart has been cared for in meaningful ways as well. Her teacher points her to Jesus and reminds her who she is in Christ.” Hearing about their children through narrative reports showed this family first hand how “teachers take the time to reflect on how their students are growing personally and shine a light on who they are (beyond their grades) is such a gift.”
“The most important thing for us as parents in a Christian school is knowing that the teachers and staff share our faith and values and will partner with us as parents to consistently point our children to Christ. If we simply raise up good students, but they don't understand the Gospel message, we will have failed in our role as Christian parents.”
This is another testimony that highlights the importance of our mission being carried out by teachers, utilizing the Teaching for Transformation framework, and living out their personal Deep Hopes!
