History edit

Founded by brothers Albert and Joseph Greene in 1950, BCS has grown to serve approximately 900 students on three campuses. The school's mission statement is: 'To prepare young people to live faithfully for God in a rapidly changing world with the ability to understand, evaluate, and transform their world from the foundation of God’s unchanging values.' Vision: 'Preparing young people to live faithfully for God.'[4]

Locations edit

Academics edit

Bellevue Christian School is approved by the State of Washington and accredited by Christian Schools International and the Northwest Association of Accredited Schools (NAAS).[5]

The high school academic program includes AP classes in English, World and U.S. History, Calculus (AB and BC), Biology, Physics, Spanish and Studio Art. BCS is noted for its music program, which includes three choirs and three bands,[6] including a symphonic wind ensemble, jazz band, and select Choir.[6] Alumni attend a variety of universities including Ivy League Schools, Military Academies, State Schools, Christian schools, and Community Colleges.[3]

Co-Curricular Activities edit

BCS is a member of the Washington Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA) [7] and participates in the Nisqually League.[7] BCS offers 16 different high school varsity sports (9 boys, 7 girls) including baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, soccer, track, volleyball and wrestling.[7] A number of JV sports teams are available as well.[4]

In addition, high school students can participate in a fall or spring play.[4] At the junior high level, all sports are no-cut, ensuring all students have an opportunity to participate in the sport of their choice.

Distinctives edit

Students, teachers, parents, and administrators are encouraged to practice servant leadership according to Jesus' teachings. Conflict resolution follows the model found in Matthew 18 where community members are encouraged to seek personal reconciliation, rather than simply appealing to school administrators as a first step. BCS aims to keep tuition relatively affordable by local standards so that it can serve whole families and remain accessible to a range of families. Students do not submit test scores in the admission process, since the school philosophy stresses the giftedness of all students, not just those who achieve high test scores. BCS offers Special Academic Services (SAS) to students who need help strengthening their learning skills and equipping them with processing tools. SAS is affiliated with the National Institute of Learning Development and is based on neurological therapy. BCS is one of the few private, religious, or secular schools to offer SAS therapy.
