I’ve had many problems with the school ever since I was in BBCA. I despised it because of the curriculum, the pupils, and the faculty. There were times when I noticed bias toward the students, and the way the principal handled particular situations seemed so biased. It was extremely inappropriate when the principal got involved in certain students’ relationships (friends and such). Racist remarks from students never got punished and still went to school, even when they persisted.

The education provided by BBCA was subpar; there were no challenges or opportunities for collaboration on projects like group projects. Although I thought the high school teacher was excellent and still valued his instruction, some comments, from him, that I felt were unnecessary and insensitive. Information on sciences, chemistry, English, and other subjects felt dated in the curriculum, for example, English PACES was one of the workbooks or PACEs, that dates back to the 1990s. The use of students as teachers was another thing that I felt was wrong. When a teacher wasn’t in the classroom, high school or occasionally middle school students had to step up to assist their peers.

Overall, I wouldn’t advise anyone to attend this school, especially if you’re going to middle school or high school. My friends and the little moments that made my years there helped me create good memories at this school. However, my impression of BBCA was not favorable. I will regret attending BBCA because it seems to me like I’ve been attending an elementary school for five years.

Every interaction with the school, and it’s personnel, was and has been amazing. Prior to and post enrollment, in the middle of a pandemic, correspondence has always been extremely quick and easy, affordable price for a very impressive education and a truly kind and supportive community. For the short period that we had our 8 year old in the school (due to unforeseen moving circumstances), Mrs. Kohl and Ms. Ussery and the rest of the wonderful staff made sure that she had a home away from home. She was very excited to go to school and when we had to move her, the school sent her away with a new bible, journal (filled with touching notes and pictures from classmates and staff) and a beautiful necklace. Mrs. Kohl has remained in touch and checks up often on our little girl. This school is a hidden gem and any child (as well as their families) would be absolutely blessed to be given a chance to be part of this community. Thank you for all you do and for loving Angel.

In this school they learn a lot about God. I like it, it is clean and nice and the staff there are perfect! I went there to watch my cousin in class. And it was great!
