Message From the Principal
BCS @Home is an extension of the Bearspaw Christian School community which allows for flexibility in time and space. BCS @Home aims to fulfill the school’s mission of “Joining with the Family to Realize Personal Academic Excellence and Christ-like Character in Each Student.” We do this by providing both the support and the flexibility your family needs given your unique circumstances and desires.
Parents have been given the privilege of being stewards of their children’s lives for a very short time, but we believe the teaching and training they provide is eternal! Colossians 1:28 says, “He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ.” BCS @Home can support your family as you pursue excellence in mind, heart, body and soul for the glory of the Lord!
Sincerely,
Clinton Weening
Principal, BCS @Home
