A famous passage from the Bible:

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures.

He leads me beside still waters.

He restores my soul.

He leads me in paths of righteousness

for his name’s sake.

Psalms 23:1-3

Classroom Spotlight

From T. Grace: Last month the 7th grade history class was studying Imperial China. As part of our exploration of the importance of silk production in the Chinese economy during this era, the students learned how to spin thread out of silk pods! It was awesome to give the students a physical connection to a historical handcraft, especially one that has been so important to Chinese history. Together, we actually produced quite a bit of silk thread and I've never seen a middle school classroom so focused!

See photo below!

BCCI Vision

One way BCCI education is special is combining the excellence of American curriculum with our very own BCCI vision statement. 

To develop students who live with a sense of mission, reflect God’s character, work with excellence, and bless our neighbors through service.

These qualities strengthen students to grow into responsible adults who make a positive difference in our world.

Again, blessings on your break,

Pastor Mac

Making BCCI Education Stronger

Professional Development Day

Did you know that BCCI will receive an accreditation visit by Christian Schools International (CSI) and WASC in January? Our work on this visit began last spring.

We did very important work on the PD Day on 25 September. It was a day off school but a big work day for teachers. We are reviewing every aspect of our school,  discussing how we are successful and considering areas for improvement. Accreditation is a big test for BCCI. And it makes BCCI better and better for your child. More information to follow on how the visit benefits our school.

Focus on BCCI Vision: Service

One pillar of our graduate profile is to: Bless our neighbors through Service

What does that mean for our students?

1. I value others and help meet their needs
2. I build relationships with people from different cultures
3. I follow the Bible and work to make things right—Biblical justice

Blessings,

Pastor Mac
