Bellevue Christian School

Our three daughters attended Bellevue Christian School and we always recommend it to our friends. We decided to send them there for the Christian worldview and for the high academic standards. All 3 daughters have highly successful careers and 2 are doctors. Two of the daughters married friends that they met at BCS. We feel blessed to be part of the BCS community.

Our kids were not prepared for high level college other than in english. We had a few years where math and science teachers would change bc the teachers left or class sizes changed. That shows poor hiring andvplanning. the students also changed schedules at semester which sometimes lead to teacher changes in the exact same course.

We have been so blessed to have three of our four kiddos at Bellevue Christian School. Our kiddos are being challenged academically, they are growing spiritually, and they've made wonderful friends.

Bellevue Christian School is an amazing school with staff who care and students who will be friends for life with your kids. My kids started high school at Bellevue Christian as 9th graders and within no time at all have met kids they would call their best friends and I would say will be their friends for life. The families are all great quality families of the friends they have met and we have gotten to know. My kids were involved in several sports and clubs as well as one play. Being in a smaller setting than the public school it feels like a place we call home now. The staff go out of their way to make the kids feel cared for and welcome. Teachers go above and beyond to teach things in an interesting way. Hands down some of their favorite teachers in all of their time at school so far are here at Bellevue Christian. Many kids go to our church and we see them at our youth group as well which has been nice. I would say, if you want your child to feel at home at school, love going to school, and have amazing quality friends they would call lifelong friends, all in a learning environment they enjoy - come to try Bellevue Christian! They have lots of ways to tailor your schedule to your child's needs as well. Especially in 10th grade and above, you can switch to honors and AP courses to determine the level of hardness in your schedule even more. 9th grade was a great year to get involved in sports, clubs, theater and other things as well as build up great friendships. My kids became much better people as a result of going to Bellevue Christian. I am forever grateful.

While many of the teachers are good others have unrealistic expectations and I cannot recommend this school overall. Perhaps they grew too fast with the pandemic, but many classes are large, support is stretched thin and follow up seems extremely lacking. There is no sense of community for families in the upper school at all. Social emotional learning is limited and kids are openly mean to each other with few if any consequences. Academic support, clubs, extracurriculars and sports options are very limited considering the size of the school.
