Christ-centered

At BCS we acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord over all life and the Bible as the final authority in matters of life and thought. Followers of Christ start to become more like Him when we center our lives around Him.

Classical

Classical Christian education is a lifelong process of applying the “tools of learning” in order to become a vital member of the Great Conversation; of which all are called to through scripture.

Future Outlook

With the public school system changing quickly, BCS acknowledges that we, as parents and teachers, have the responsibility to train up the next generation of Christian leaders who can think critically.


 

In today’s modern culture the question of where to send your children to school is more important than ever before:

 
 
 

“The education I received at Baldwin Christian School shaped my soul, training me to see and love that which is good, truthful, and beautiful. As a mother and business owner, I am equipped to display and create places filled with these virtues.”

Elisabeth Bloechl - 2010 Alumni

Why are we Classical?

Classical Christian education (CCE) is a time-tested educational system which establishes a biblical worldview (called Paideia), incorporates methods based on natural phases of student development, cultivates the seven Christian Virtues, trains student reasoning through the Trivium (Grammar, Logic, and Rhetoric), and interacts with the historical Great Books.


The Trivium:

  • bcs grammar students

    Grammar

    Young children are uniquely adapted to memorize. They learn chants, songs and rhythmic verse and can be taught an enormous amount of information. By exercising this ability, students remain practiced in the art of memorizing.

  • bcs logic students

    Logic

    Early adolescent children become argumentative, and their ability to draw conclusions from a series of facts begins to develop. This is called the dialectic or logic phase. The students become practiced in the science of accurate thinking.

  • bcs rhetoric students

    Rhetoric

    High school students begin to develop a sense of how others perceive them, and become aware of various forms of expression and speech. They learn to speak and write in order to relate to their audience with clarity and persuasion.

“BCS taught me how to think, how to be dedicated to the truth, and most importantly how to pursue my relationship with Jesus in a personal and real way.”

Philip Hokanson - 2014 Alumni
