BCS Discipleship Approach
As parents, you want to see your children flourish, not just in academics but also in discipleship to Jesus. It’s far more than just good grades or Bible trivia, you long to see your students have a multiplying impact for Christ’s kingdom through a loving relationship with the King. But competing priorities, busy calendars and negative cultural influences often block the road to thriving for teens. BCS understands. For over 60 years we’ve partnered with hundreds of families like yours.
We’re often asked a version of this question, “Is BCS a discipleship organization that educates students? Or an educational organization that disciples students?” The answer is yes. And yes. The pursuit of following Jesus is woven through every academic endeavor and extracurricular activity. Our scholastic focus is matched with careful attention to the process of becoming like Jesus.
As we partner with your family, the discipleship process occurs through:
- Teacher and student relationships
- Best practices in classroom instruction
- Academic excellence with a growth mindset
- Biblical worldview woven through every subject and unit
- Prayer and scripture engagement in daily rhythms
- Shared chapel and retreat experiences
- Service opportunities inside and outside the school
- Individual mentorship and coaching
- Restoration in relationships needing repair
- Experiential learning opportunities outside of the classroom
- Local and distant mission projects (High School)
And these 5 Practices of Discipleship measure our success as students become Christ-centered Disciples who are:
- Servant Leaders
- Critical Thinkers
- Effective Communicators
- Collaborative Designers
- Kingdom Citizens – who love God and love others
Whether your family is new to Christ or has a deep faith tradition, nobody can afford to go it alone. BCS would love to actively partner with you in the discipleship of your students towards flourishing. And with great collaboration between a church, home and school our students have the most solid discipleship foundation.
