We are excited about what God is doing at our school as we partner and journey with parents to help each student achieve personal academic excellence and Christ-like character. At Bearspaw Christian School, we work together to make Christ the center of everything we do. We view every aspect of school as an opportunity for discipleship. All subjects are presented from a biblical worldview which frames students’ thinking around God’s truth. It portrays a reality where the world was created and is sustained by God, where God has acted in history to accomplish his purposes and is actively working now and into the future to reconcile all things to himself through Jesus.

However, BCS is not just about building knowledge and a Christian way of understanding. It is also about imitating Christ in our way of living. Jesus calls us to follow him, which means offering him our whole selves. Without exception, BCS’s staff members and Board of Directors proclaim Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. Staff members commit themselves to helping students and one another grow in spiritual, social, personal, and intellectual maturity in order to become more like Christ. Our goal is to inform, invite, and inspire our students to pattern their lives after Christ’s example.

Take a Tour

Tours are available on Tuesdays and Thursdays during school hours so that you can see our school in action. Meet our friendly Admissions Team, see our facilities, and ask any questions you may have about BCS or Discipleship-Based Education.

Complete the Application

Once you have completed a tour:

  • Our Admissions Team will e-mail you the online application tool, which contains an application checklist.
  • Carefully complete all items on the application checklist.
  • Once your online application is complete, bring the following to our Front Office to complete the application process:
    • $150 application fee, and
    • All required supporting documents per the application checklist.
  • Our Admissions Team will record the date your fully completed application is received and prioritize your application accordingly. Please note that applications will not be considered completed until:
    • The application fee has been paid in full, and
    • All supporting documents have been received.

Faith Interview

Once the application is fully compete, our Admissions Team will contact you to schedule a Faith Interview with our school administrators. BCS Families are authentically committed to discipleship-based education. This is a big commitment so we want to get to know you personally! The Faith Interview will give you a chance to tell us about how Jesus is making a difference in your family’s life. We’ll also have a chance to talk about what it means for families to partner with BCS to influence this generation for Christ.

Grade Placement Assessment / Student Interview

In order to make sure we can support the unique needs of our BCS families, your child may be part of language and/or learning testing, which will be scheduled after the Faith Interview meeting is completed. In addition, all secondary students will be interviewed by our Principal / Vice Principal.

Student Selection

All potential students whose applications are fully completed will be placed on our waitlist until March. This is when the school will know the number of classroom vacancies and the teachers and resource staff that we will have available to meet unique student requirements.

Beginning in March of each year, the Admissions Team will review and prioritize applicants for open positions. The Admissions team uses the following to prioritize applicants:

  • Results of the Family Interview and Placement Tests
  • The number of children within a family who are applying (we want to be able to accommodate enrollment of all children within a family, if possible)
  • Availability of tuition assistance funding where it has been requested
  • The date on which the application was fully completed (this is our tie-breaker)

Any waitlisted student who is not provided an offer prior to all open positions being filled:

  • Will remain on our waitlist for an in-year opening (if desired),  or
  • Will be prioritized for the following school year enrollment cycle.

Registration

Offers for classroom positions for new students will be made beginning in April. At the time the position is offered, you will be given registration and fee payment forms to complete. All completed registration and fee payment forms must be completed within 5 business days of this offer. If not completed within 5 business days, the offer for a classroom position is withdrawn by BCS and the student is placed on our waitlist.
