Global CollaborativeProjects

EDUC 8841

Our school’s mission is to provide an educational environment which enables students to strive for excellence in academics.

By restating our mission to include developing 21st century learners we would foster a climate of critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity.

We would increase our competitive edge and appeal to potential parents by meeting the ISTE NETS Standards for students.

Enrollment numbers at BCA are dropping and this may be a way to increase those numbers.

Global Collaborative Projects are based upon sound principles of learning.

Matthew 22:37-40 reminds us to

focus our concern not on ourselves

but on others, considering

others as more important than

ourselves.
