How is BCA different than Traditional Public School?
-
BCA offers personalized learning that connects your child to the curriculum that will work best for them!
-
BCA offers flexibility in your schedule so your kids can pursue their passions
-
Our mission is to partner with parents and encourage family involvement
How is BCA different than Homeschooling?
-
BCA is considered a public school so there is annual standardized testing to ensure your child is on track
-
BCA offers an allotment to go towards curriculum and other learning resources
-
Homeschooling is a style of instruction, but also a legal term, meaning parents take full responsibility for their child's education. BCA is considered a remote learning public school and offers partnership and guidance with a licensed teacher.
How is BCA different from Virtual School?
-
BCA is considered a remote learning public school NOT a virtual public school so the 3% rule does NOT apply to BCA. You can always enroll with us!
