Learning that lasts, faith that lives

Academic Excellence

Through dynamic, creative, and hands-on education, Bethany meets the needs of diverse learners and empowers all students to meet high academic standards. Bethany provides challenging experiential learning at all levels, including advanced courses in all core subject areas and the fine arts. Over 90 percent of our graduates go on to college, and Bethany students average 100 points higher on the SAT than the national average.

In addition, Bethany has received national recognition for our innovative Environmental Science course. All students participate in a unique, week-long immersive Interterm program intensive study, and Bethany now offers a variety of technology education classes with a lab of 3-D printers. These are just some of the ways students are challenged in unique ways at Bethany, setting them up for future successes.

BCS Values

At Bethany, we provide a holistic educational experience that prepares students for life. Bethany community members respect differences, build compassionate relationships and practice reconciliation. Students are known and cared for, and because of this they are challenged academically and personally. According to Bethany parents, our attention to social, emotional, and spiritual growth is the added value that makes Bethany a great investment.

Christ-centered

At Bethany, teachers integrate faith and learning from a perspective that highlights discipleship, peaceable living, and service. Each student is invited to engage in a personal faith journey, explored through Bible curriculum, service opportunities, mentoring and more.

Community

As a small school, Bethany places priority on relationships and works to foster respectful and compassionate relationships among students, faculty, staff, and the church. Our close community with strong teacher-student relationships has long been a Bethany distinctive. Each student is paired with a faculty mentor, and they meet every two weeks to discuss things outside of academics, as well. The underlying goal is to support each student’s growth as a whole person in tandem with rigorous academic learning. At Bethany, people take an interest in each other and build lasting friendships that provide a sense of belonging.
