History
BCS was founded in 1980 by local families who had been praying for a Christian school. 92 students, in K through 6th grade, began meeting in classrooms at First Baptist Church in Lake Jackson on August 19, 1980. By 1992 the school served preschool through 12th grade. In August 1994, BCS opened its new classroom building on Willow Drive for the 6th through 12th grades. As more classes moved to the new building, the need for more room became apparent. By 1998 all classes were under one roof and construction had began for additional classrooms and a gymnasium. In March 2001, secondary academic classes moved into the new building and the gym was open for use.
Teacher Qualifications
All teachers have a baccalaureate degree with the majority holding a state recognized teacher’s certificate. At the sec-ondary level, teachers must have 24 college credit hours in their content area. Elementary teachers have elementary education courses.
Curriculum
The curriculum contains the traditional scope and sequence for grades K-12. A Beka, Bob Jones, ACSI Purposeful De-sign and others are used as needed. BCS teaches to and beyond state standards but does not embrace Common Core.

The 2017-18 year’s theme is “Choose Joy.” This theme is based on the book “Choose Joy” by Kay War-
ren.
In the words of Kay Warren, "Joy is the settled assurance that God is in control of all the details of my life,
the quiet confidence that ultimately everything is going to be all right, and the determined choice is to praise
God in all things."
