The Academy
Bethel Christian Academy (BCA) is a small setting, trauma informed, middle and high school located on the campus of Bethel Bible Village. BCA exists to provide educational opportunities for traditionally underserved students facing adversity within their home and/or school environment. While many BCA students live residentially on the Bethel Bible Village campus, BCA also serves community students who live at home.
The mission of BCA is to provide a supportive, safe, and welcoming environment to teach and encourage the whole student. We will foster spiritual, physical, intellectual, relational and emotional growth while promoting post-secondary education and vocational success.
Based in Christian Faith
At Bethel Christian Academy, Christian faith is integrated into the school day through daily devotions and prayer, monthly chapel, and seeking to grow and learn spiritually every day. At BCA, we always seek to share the love of Christ through our words and actions. We base our mission on 2 Timothy 1:7; encouraging our students to do everything with power, love, and self-control.
“For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” 2 Timothy 1:7
Personalized Education Plan
Class sizes range between 3 -12 students per teacher, with a strong focus on individual attention for each student. We use assessments completed at enrollment to create a customized education plan for each student. BCA provides remedial classes for students who are behind and need to catch up to their grade level, while also providing enrichment opportunities for students who are at or above grade level. There is a strong focus on meeting social and emotional needs, addressing past trauma, relationship building, and life skill-building.
Comprehensive Team Approach
Bethel Christian Academy includes therapy rooms so students can meet with counselors and social workers during the school day. Each student has a master’s-level social worker available as a resource for crisis intervention, referrals, skill building, and other needs that arise. BCA also partners with area service providers who further enhance our students’ experience.
At BCA, students, social workers, counselors, teachers, houseparents, and legal guardian/parent all work as a coordinated team toward the goals and objectives established for the student. Legal guardians/parents also receive updates and reports on a regular basis.
ExtraCurricular Activities
Bethel Christian Academy offers many different extracurricular activities, including intramurals and clubs, for students. Students are able to compete in cross-country in the fall and track and field in the spring. BCA also offers students an option to be part of the chapel praise band and the drama club. All extracurricular activities are student focused and students have a voice in what activities are offered.
