Bethlehem Christian Academy

Bethlehem Christian is a fully accredited by AdvancED (formerly SACS) for Independent College Preparatory Pre-K through grade 12 and the Association of Christian Schools International, BCA offers a challenging college preparatory curriculum, complete with honors and AP courses. Enriching this curriculum is a wide offering of club activities, academic and literary competitions, and opportunities to participate in the fine arts. All of these features are intentional extensions of equipping each student in his area of interest. Our approach to physical education and athletics is also reflective of our philosophy.  We pursue excellence in our sports programs. Equally as important, instructors and coaches who are called by God to invest in students use field and court to teach life lessons, to model character, and to develop skills that will take them forward into life. Providing the foundation for all of the other disciplines we pursue is the spiritual development of our students.  Our commitment to furthering this pursuit is carried out through strategic opportunities for mentoring, spiritual retreat and examination, and solid biblical teaching. All this is what sets BCA apart, and we look forward to meeting you and to introducing you to the BCA family.  We think you’ll love the heart you find here.
