St George's Independent School

I am a current 8th grader at BCS, and I simply cannot agree with people who continue to degrade this wonderful school. It has its faults, like any school, but I can say with confidence that the faculty strive to make it better. Briarcrest is a fantastic multiethnic school, and in my whole time here, I have never seen any teacher or administrator ever punish someone for anything but behavior. The school's fine arts programs have grown immensely over the past few years, and offers an extensive and accepting community for musically and visually talented students. There are many opportunities for athletes as well. The school was founded on the core values of Christianity, and continues to embody those principals. At the middle school age, students learn the important truths of Christ. As for the students individual beliefs, I cannot say. That is a conversation with them and God. BCS very clearly lays out the ideals of Jesus, and it is the student's job to listen. If they choose to misbehave and mistreat other students, those are their erroneous choices, but the school does not intentionally turn a blind eye. Punishment is swift and fair, and mercy is frequently given in a Christlike manner. Some of the teachers that I have met at BCS have become some of my greatest role models. Anyone considering this school should give serious thought, as an intellectual young person needs a firm education and good biblical teaching. I can only hope that the Holy Spirit decides to work in the hearts of the students and the fruit of the school's hard labor is seen in the lives changed by Christ.

My child is known and loved and we can’t imagine being anywhere else. The balance between faith and academics is unmatched. Highly recommend!

Our child absolutely loves attending Dogwood. He doesn’t want to leave at the end of the day and he honestly can’t wait to get home and practice what he learned!
