BCA Academics

Middle School Program

Middle School students encounter many emotional and physical changes that often substantially impact academics. Bradford Christian Academy’s middle school program is designed to challenge, nurture, and support students through these complicated years. BCA’s middle school program prepares students for the more independent studies required in high school. Our focus is on the whole person. We help students build a deepening Christian commitment, good study habits, positive character traits, and wholesome relationships with peers and adult.

BCA’s middle school program trains the heart as well as the mind. Teachers and administrators strive to help students grow in their knowledge of God, cultivate their relationship with Him, and develop a lifestyle consistent with their beliefs. Within the classroom God’s timeless truths are integrated into each subject area. Weekly chapel and annual Spiritual Emphasis Week provide opportunities for the school community to worship together. Our Community Service program teaches students how to move faith into action and our SafeSpace program cultivates safe and positive student interactions.

At BCA, middle school students spend their mornings in academic studies in math, science, social studies, language arts, foreign language, and Bible. Enrichment classes in art, drama, music, and physical education take place during the afternoon. Teachers engage each student in meaningful dialogue about course material and supply hands-on learning projects, implement science experiments, and assign pertinent computer applications.

Because middle school students need support from the adults in their lives, BCA middle school teachers work as a team, communicating regularly among themselves about each student’s progress and needs in each subject area. Teachers are student-centered, interested in all aspects of each student’s life, not only his or her academic performance. BCA teachers communicate with parents regularly to ensure that parents are satisfied with student progress. BCA uses the Student Information Management System (SIMS), to enhance communication between school and home. Parents can log in and retrieve their children’s homework assignments, track their grades, note after school activities, or email questions and concerns to the teachers.

BCA cultivates a wholesome community environment for middle school students to expand their friendships in the context of a caring Christian community. Co-curricular activities include basketball, soccer, drama, student council, various clubs, and Bible studies. We are adding more co-curricular activities on a regular basis based on student interest.
