Welcome to BCA!

Elsie R. Wright, Head of School

Choosing a school for your children is one of the most important decisions you will make with regard to impacting their future.

The motto of BCA is “building a foundation for life.” That foundation includes not only developing academic skills, but also worldview, social skills, physical fitness and relationships that are key to future goals, decision-making and lifestyle choices.

BCA’s rigorous academic program prepares students for the top colleges. Our track record with our first two graduating high school classes is notable, with the number of college acceptances and generous scholarships earned being quite impressive! The support programs available for both gifted learners and also for those with learning differences enable BCA to educate a wide range of students and help prepare them for colleges and careers that are best suited to them. In short—BCA is a great school for just about all students. A college preparatory program at its core, there is also a strong emphasis in the arts, an athletic program that enables all interested students to be part of interscholastic teams, and of course a spiritual emphasis that helps all students develop a biblical worldview in a world that is bombarded with humanistic philosophies and postmodern skepticism.

A generous tuition assistance program and an international student program help bring diversity to the student body. This diversity also prepares students for life and helps the BCA student body reflect the diversity of God’s creation.

One of the most noted distinctives of BCA is its sense of community. The BCA family, as we call it, is comprised of like-minded yet diverse people from many denominations and backgrounds who share a vision of providing the very best education for their children. This community includes well-educated and caring faculty and staff with a legacy of longevity at BCA, parents who have discovered that being part of BCA brings them into community with people who often become their best friends, and students who appreciate their school and look forward to sending their own children here one day.

BCA is a leader among the independent schools in Rhode Island. Please visit us and find out more about why choosing BCA makes so much sense for your family!
