K-8 Program

BCA's K–8 program combines learning at home with regular opportunities to connect on campus. Families partner with licensed teachers while students learn at their own pace, build friendships, and participate in meaningful learning experiences throughout the school year.

How It Works

1

Learn at Home

Students learn at home using a personalized learning plan designed around their pace, interests, and family schedule.

2

Attend Weekly Cohort

Once a week, students come together on campus for cohort (hands-on learning and time with friends). Monday Exploration Day is an optional enrichment day.

3

Get Support All Year

Your Learning Coordinator partners with your family throughout the year with guidance, encouragement, and personalized support.

Weekly Cohort

Cohort day is the highlight of the week! Students attend a 3-hour cohort on our Lowell campus for instruction from their Learning Coordinator, hands-on projects, and time to connect with friends.

  • Hands-on learning and projects

  • Small group instruction

  • Science, art, and enrichment

  • Presentations and collaboration

  • Community and friendships

 

The learning doesn't stop after cohort. Students continue building friendships through Exploration Monday, monthly Family Outings, showcases, dances, and special events throughout the year. Discover more about Student Life below.

Approved secular curriculum and educational resources may be purchased with student allotment funds. Faith-based curriculum is not eligible for allotment funding.

Student Allotment

Every K–8 student receives an annual $800 learning allotment to support their personalized learning plan. Families submit purchase or reimbursement requests through the Family Portal. Approved educational expenses—including curriculum, books, lessons, tutoring, classes, technology, and other learning opportunities—may be covered through the allotment. These are just a few common examples. Your Parent Liaison can answer questions and help guide you through the approval process.

K8 Schedules

K-8 Weekly Schedule Sample

Every family builds a schedule that fits their learning goals and lifestyle. Here are a few examples of how different families might organize their week.

⭐️ A simple Monday–Friday rhythm that covers the basics while leaving plenty of room for play and discovery.

 

  • Math (4 days/week): Using popular choices like Math with Confidence or RightStart Mathematics to build strong foundational skills through quick daily lessons and math games.

  • Language Arts (4 days/week): Focused on phonics, reading, and handwriting using programs like All About Reading or Explode the Code paired with everyday library read-alouds.

  • Science & Social Studies (2–3 days/week): Driven by curiosity—rotating between hands-on activities from Mystery Science and literature-based history stories like Five in a Row.

  • Community & Enrichment (1–2 days/week): Balancing structured learning with their BCA Cohort, participation in a BCA Exploration Day workshop, local park days, nature study walks, and introductory music or art.
