Two of our children have graduated from BCA and one is still enrolled. We have seen the school grow, getting better & better, and become more competitive in all areas. Our kids have been equipped and prepared for their current stage in life, as well as life after BCA. My older two are successful in business, life/marriage/parents, and in their Christian-walk. It was a financial sacrifice to choose private/Christian school, but it was the best investment our family could have made. I 100% recommend this school!

Bethlehem Christian Academy has been life changing for our children. Their emphasis on spiritual and moral development, partnered with the top notch education is truly a blessing! We couldn’t be happier with our decision to be part of the BCA family. I firmly believe my children will be prepared academically for the future. The teacher support and communication is unmatched. The faculty invests in each and every student’s success and it shows through their love and care.

We couldn't have made a better choice than BCA for our children's education! When we were struggling with another school, BCA was the answer to our prayers. Our child, who previously feared going to school and struggling with separation anxiety is now excited to go every day. The staff at BCA have shown our children love, kindness, and patience beyond our wildest dreams, and it's clear that they are dedicated to helping each student reach their full potential. The strong character building and culture at BCA have created a positive and welcoming environment, and our son has made friends and found happiness there. We are so grateful for the creative and fun experiences that BCA offers and for the incredible impact it has had on our children's lives.

At BCA, we've found the perfect school for our family! The incredible culture and numerous options for classes, clubs, sports, and fine arts have exceeded our expectations. The staff are warm and welcoming, and the innovative rotating schedule has been a game-changer for our children's learning. We appreciate the strong emphasis on safety and security, and the character-building aspects and Biblical worldview of the school have helped our children grow into compassionate and responsible individuals.

We love BCA! Our four kids have attended since Pre-K with two having already graduated. We have been privileged to watch this school grow and can honestly say that the administration strives to make each year better than the year before. While there is great emphasis on academics, there is just as much emphasis placed on the emotional, mental and spiritual well-being of the child. That is evidenced by the innovative schedule they’ve implemented in the last year. The teachers really care about their students not only while in the classroom, but outside as well. We would have a difficult time considering another school for our kids. We tell everyone we know about BCA!

Words can not explain how thrilled we are about this school. We have two children attending BCA and so far we are overly impressed. The teachers and staff have been so helpful and cooperative and really have a heart for the students. We had been told this was a school that actually cares, but didn't know if we could believe it. Coming to BCA made believers out of us and our family. I wish every child could experience the BCA experience, it is really something special!

BCA if for the student! Their academics are rigorous; but just as important is the social/emotional/spiritual well-being of each student. The school strives to create a learning environment that is best for its students! We are proud to be a part of BCA's community and family!

We are so grateful for a school that has remained faithful through the rapid growth of the school and the challenges in the world around us! As parents of two children that have graduated from BCA , we can say that BCA worked along side us as parents in preparing our children for the world around them and equipping them to know what they believe. We are grateful for a staff and focuses on the heart child and not just academics and athletics. Thank you BCA for leading with a calming force and for giving us a small world of normalcy during a pandemic! Our children definitely experience life different at BCA…because they truly care. We have attended BCA for over 16 years and are still grateful to be a part of the BCA family. It is an exciting time in the Bethlehem community as we see the LORD’S hand upon it.

Our family has been a part of the Bethlehem Christian community for 6 years. We feel so fortunate to be a part of this very special place. While no establishment is perfect, this is as close as you can get. We have had children in the elementary, Jr High, and High School departments. We have found the following to be true throughout all levels: the teachers and administration are focused on the "whole child". They are not trying to produce "cookie cutter" kids. They are working to produce kids that excel in the areas in which they have individually been gifted. BCA seeks to partner with the Lord in the work He is already doing. When one of our children has had struggles in the classroom or in behavior, we have been met with great respect and professionalism. We love our BCA family! And we are so grateful for the teachers and staff that continuously support and encourage our children. We would not want to be anywhere else!

I would not send my children anywhere else. BCA provides more than just a solid education. It feels more like a family here. We are confident our children are loved and supported in all areas.

This school is amazing. My kids have been here for 4 years now and we are blessed with the Christian curriculum and the standards and morals being taught. My kids have grown and learned so much and I look forward to them graduating from here.

This school failed to report multiple incidents. I had to find out from my daughter that she was being physically and mentally harmed. The administration did not back up my daughter who was assaulted but instead defended the student who was the aggressor. They made my daughter look like a liar. All the incidents she told me they marked as accidents. Being kicked in the face, pushed, getting hit, skirt being lifted. They only spoke to the boy & didn't speak with my daughter on these incidents.

This school is a joke. They pride themselves on Christian values but has disappointed us by their actions or lack of. I have been disappointed with the Principal Kelly Vann and Bethleham Christian Academy staff. On multiple occasions child has been physically attacked by another student under their supervision. Kelly does not address the issue or inform the parents. This has happened numerous times. I do not recommend this school. Your kids will not be guided Christian values but the values of negligence.

Four words sums up the experience here. "Blind Eye to Bullying". Regardless of easy A's and B's this school gives to students, it will never take any real action toward student bullying. I've had friends who were bullied so bad they had no choice but to leave since the school wouldn't acknowledge the bulling. Kept saying they are aware and dealing with it but really just buying time to keep tuition money .

I would only recommend this place if you are looking for some for real wolves in sheep’s clothing. Starting with the Headmaster as the worst.

To anyone considering going to this school, don't. They give an absurd amount of work that is unnecessary. If you hold different beliefs, it's best not to show them who knows what they will do; teachers are very judgemental and often talk to the students behind other teachers' backs. They do not show Christ-like behavior. You could sing about loving God, and there's nothing wrong with that, but what true purpose does it serve when you don't practice it right. You don't learn anything in this school; if you like studying for hours upon hours for a test with five questions, go ahead. I don't believe this school helps students understand what they are learning. They don't understand the concepts; they can't think for themselves enough. The teachers often don't teach the class and talk about personal things in their life for almost the whole class time, sometimes leaving ten minutes to write notes or talk about the subject. The food is just fast food. They constantly ask you for money and donations. It's just a business. It's a money scheme, and it's a waste of your money to enroll your kid into this school. Please reconsider if you plan to put your child in this school. It isn't the place for academic learning.

This school reminds me of the movie the Stepford Wives. Everyone is smiling and happy when your child arrives. As long as you trust your child to receive an education in a Christian environment by adults who have no business being administrators or educators, or whose Christianity is short on grace, forgiveness or loving spiritual leadership, your child will be fine. Students are labeled by teachers by name as good kids or bad influences and students and parents are encouraged to stay away from the bad kids. Tricky tac infractions like failing to put a phone away or taking in class become part of a disciplinary record that follows your child around like some sort of criminal rap sheet, eventually becoming your child's identity. There is zero accountability for the actions of school personnel. Our child endured physical and verbal abuse by an "assistant coach" in the form of excessive physical exercises, embarrassment in front of classmates and a threat of expulsion because our child made a noise at the end of lunch. The athletic director / disciplinary pillar never offered an apology or acknowledgement that this adult's behavior was unacceptable to the school. The more we questioned the bizarre and excessive behaviors by he adults here, the worse it got for our child. He left BCA discouraged and hurt by the relentless over the top actions by teachers and administrators. FWIW, the academics were average at best here as well. With so many private school choices in the area there is nothing that stands out as a positive. There are a minefield of excessive and arbitrary punishments dolled out by adults who could only thrive in such a dysfunctional environment however.

Overall, the past 7 years with my kids at BCA has been phenomenal. The teachers take the time to invest in the kids and the environment is fantastic for learning.

My daughter went to school there for 3 years. We had to move her out due to financial reasons. It was quite an adjustment for her going to a bigger school and bigger class sizes but she is academically doing just fine. She is learning stuff that she already learned at BCA.
