Choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions you’ll make as a parent. At Bellevue Christian School, we believe that education is more than just academic achievement—it’s about shaping young people who can navigate life with faith, wisdom, and resilience. With a strong commitment to providing an academically rigorous and spiritually nurturing environment, BCS offers students a comprehensive education grounded in Christian values.
Here are just a few reasons why BCS stands out as a school that can support your child’s growth and development in every area of their life.
A Faith-Centered Education
At Bellevue Christian School, our faith isn’t just something we talk about on Sundays—we integrate it into everything we do. Our teachers infuse each day at BCS with the teachings of Christ, providing a framework that shapes how our students approach their academics, relationships, and personal growth. Our teaching philosophy is rooted in our Teaching for Transformation (TfT) framework, which encourages students to see each academic subject through a Christian worldview.
This approach doesn’t just focus on knowledge but also on character development. Through TfT, we challenge students to ask deep questions, understand the world from a biblical perspective, and apply their learning to make a positive impact in the world. By focusing on both the “what” (academic content) and the “who” (who God is calling them to be), we aim to cultivate students who are not only well-educated but also spiritually grounded and compassionate.
Holistic Growth: Academics, Arts, Athletics, and More
BCS offers a well-rounded experience that encourages growth in every area of life, from academics to the arts to athletics. Let’s look at how we’ll help your child excel in each of these areas.
Academic Excellence with Personalized Support
We understand that every student learns differently, and we design our academic programs to meet the diverse needs of our students. Whether your child excels in math, language arts, or science, or needs additional support, BCS provides the resources and individualized attention to help each child thrive. Our Student Academic Services (SAS) program offers specialized support for students with learning differences, ensuring they receive the help they need to succeed.
In the classroom, we strive for excellence while encouraging students to embrace challenges, take risks, and grow through effort. We provide advanced math options in elementary school and offer numerous AP courses in high school to give students opportunities to explore academic topics in depth. By fostering an environment that celebrates both achievement and perseverance, BCS helps students develop the grit and confidence to succeed in all areas of life.
The Arts: Creativity and Expression
At Bellevue Christian School, creativity is a vital part of our students’ education. From visual arts to theater, our students have many opportunities to express themselves and explore their passions.
In the visual arts, BCS offers a comprehensive program that ranges from introductory art classes in elementary school to advanced studio art in high school, including AP Art for students looking to build a portfolio for art school applications. Our students experiment with a variety of materials—from clay and metal to fiber and paint—learning new techniques and discovering their creative potential.
Our theater arts program is also a standout, with over 150 students participating in productions each year. From vocal projection to stage blocking, students hone their performance skills in a supportive and encouraging environment. Many of our students have received recognition for their excellence in theater, and our productions are a highlight of the school year. Our choir program, beginning in 5th grade, provides students with the opportunity to develop their voices and perform in seasonal concerts, as well as participate in an international tour.
For those with an interest in digital arts, our upper school offers a multi-disciplinary program that includes photography, digital art, and video production. Students have the chance to share their work within the BCS community and beyond, developing valuable skills for the future.
Athletics: Competing with Character
We believe athletics is about more than just competition—it’s about developing character, teamwork, and leadership. Sports are an excellent way to teach life lessons, and our athletic programs build both physical and spiritual strength.
Our athletic program includes a wide range of team sports for both junior high and high school students. Whether your child enjoys soccer, basketball, track and field, or cheerleading, BCS offers numerous opportunities for students to compete at a high level while maintaining a focus on Christian values.
We encourage our athletes to compete with character, always striving for excellence and demonstrating integrity both on and off the field. We are committed to developing not only the athletic abilities of our students but also their ability to lead with grace, humility, and sportsmanship. Our junior high teams prioritize participation, ensuring that every athlete has the chance to be involved and grow, regardless of skill level.
Student Life: Building Community and Relationships
Bellevue Christian School is committed to fostering a strong sense of community. Through regular chapel services, students gather weekly to worship together, listen to inspiring messages, and grow in their faith. We also offer small group opportunities through Young Life for students in grades 7-12, where they can build authentic friendships and explore their faith in a supportive environment.
Our student-led clubs provide further opportunities for students to explore their interests, whether it’s service projects, leadership development, or creative endeavors. We emphasize leadership at BCS and encourage students to take initiative and serve both locally and globally through mission trips and community service.
