When we transfered my daughter out here to manatee County, we had a very dramatic experience. We live right by Moody elementary, so I went there first. The staff there helped me enroll my daughter in their school and helped me contact her old school for all her documents. We showed up for open house and was told she wasnt enrolled there. The woman didnt check our address first before enrolling her, so her enrollment went to Sea Breeze instead and I was not notified. After finding all this out, the day before school started, the staff at Sea Breeze was amazing ! They allowed us to come to the school for our own private open house. To see the school and meet her teachers. The principal is amazing as well. She personally met us in the office, made sure my daughter was comfortable and excited for school. She also gave me her personal extension, so that if we needed anything, we could get a hold of her. All of the staff at Sea breeze has gone above and beyond for our family to feel safe and comfortable during this transition time for us. I could not be more impressed and pleased. Everything happens for a reason. And I believe my daughter wound up at the best school.

BCS is no longer the quaint private school it once was. A year or two ago, they hired new administration, board members and now principals, which has turned this quaint private school into a public functioning school. This has become very disappointing to most all parents, staff and kids. BCS now requires security checks which includes dog sniffing backpacks, lockers & constant drills. If you receive any type of funding or grants towards their almost $20k annual tuition, BCS will target those families either by stating you do not participate enough in church and/or your child's absences is an issue so they can terminate enrollment. Personally, I've dealt with both accusations this past year, even though my child has been attending BCS over 5 years. We've never had so many problems and issues with BCS before until their new hires joined. I truly hope and pray this new administration & members change back to how BCS once was. If not, I'm seriously considering homeschooling.
