Where every student is a genius
Bethel Christian High School is a boys' and girls' school where students discover their God-given identity, pursue their passions, and do real work in the real world!
Discovering God-given Identity
We seek God’s help and direction as we consider the next steps in life. Proverbs says, Do you see someone skilled in their work? They will serve before kings. We strive to develop our skills, knowing that one day we might serve before CEOs, educational leaders, and even presidents! In addition, students help plan and participate in quarterly mission projects.
Every Student Known
We really know our students here at BCHS and what makes them tick! Students complete an initial evaluation where they discuss their strengths and weaknesses. Then, we have ongoing conversations with them to improve in these areas. In addition, we talk with each student about their goals, dreams, and passions. When students are “really known” in this way, then school discipline problems, bullying, and even violence are very rare if not altogether absent.
Active Career Exploration
As a regular weekly activity, each student interviews professionals from careers that fascinate the student. If the student remains interested, that student will shadow the professional (see picture at Southern Technology) and possibly do an internship. Students have had internships with doctors, judges, welders, financial advisors, and professional singers.
Real-Life Projects
Your student will be doing projects that matter to the student and in the real world. For example, Joel, who wants to be a chef, did a culinary project at farmers market. Just like the other vendors, Joel had to calculate financial statements, pay overhead expenses, hire employees, interact with customers, and price shop. A real-life project.
Small Classes
Each class consists of a maximum of 15 students. Furthermore, these students will all remain together throughout their high school years. Because every student is a genius and therefore every student is valued (there are no bad students), past students often describe these classes as a “second family”.
