Bethany encourages and cultivates a community that truly feels like a second family. The teachers and staff not only provide a variety of opportunities for learning, but nurture the students academically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually. There is an abundance of opportunity for parent involvement, and the administration makes it a joy to participate in school events. Our family cannot recommend Bethany Christian School highly enough!

Bethany is our home away from home. We have been at this school for 10 years. My children are in a safe and loving environment place to grow academically, socially and spiritually.

Sending my children has been the best decision I’ve made as a parent. My children are physically, emotionally, and spiritually safe there!

Our daughter started this year and absolutely loves it. Best educational choice we could have made for her.

This is our first year at Bethany Christian School in Thousand Oaks, CA. It's more than exceeded our expectations, & we are very picky with our daughter since she's intelligent and needs to be challenged academically & creatively in order to be engaged. Even though it is her teacher's first year at this school she has been amazing in teaching not only the necessary Pre-K prep work (pre-reading, love of books; alphabet, colors, shapes, etc) they've covered the orchestra, piano, basic music theory, Bible stories, learned classic hymns & contemporary worship music, studied fish, insects, rocks/geology, geography-memorized all the Continents of the World, & so much more. The class ratio is 16 students to 2 loving, kind and passionate teachers. More than the academics has been the daily encouragement of loving God and loving others and showing it to 4 & 5 year-olds in a way that they grasp, and even embrace. My daughter's awareness of love, joy, kindness, gentleness, truthfulness and above all GRACE & forgiveness has grown immensely in her own heart as she's seen it modeled to her every day in class. Though there's excellent public schools in the area she'll stay at BCS.

Teachers are great and so is the place and its location. My only suggestion would be to have more study and play time for kids and less chapel time.

I have had three kids at this school. The preschool does an amazing job academically without overkill. The elementary school is far superior to any public school we have attended and we attended two other public schools, one with a 9 rating and the other with a 10 rating. My children were far more challenged at Bethany. Every aspect of their development is attended to and they know they are loved by their school family.

Great school, great staff....when my wife and I have a child, our dream is to send that child to school at Bethany.

Our child entered this school for her final year of Elementary and was warmly welcomed by students who had been there since preschool. Before choosing BCS, she "sat in" at two other reputable private schools, both of which were considerably more expensive, and she said BCS was the most academically challenging. Being new anywhere is hard, especially if you have built a great reputation at your last school and enter a new one as an unknown, but, if you have to come in new at the end of a school's program, BCS is an excellent choice, socially and academically. Though it ends at 6th, we heard from several private middle schools that the BCS students are well-prepared to move onward and upward.

Best deal you can get! Totally devoted, loving teachers! Strongest academics! Fantastic parent involvement! Beautiful location. The only difficulty is finding where to send your kids when they graduate 6th grade!
