Service Learning

The Signature Statement of BCA is: "Learning, finding value, and maturing by integration with community life and giving to the world." Giving back has long been a significant part of daily life at BCA.

We conduct Acts of Service throughout the school. Examples of service conducted at BCA range from caring for animals on our farm, washing dishes after meals, cleaning our common living spaces, reading to elementary children for "America Reads," cooking at the local food bank, to training abandoned dogs at the animal shelter.
