Our Mission
Mission and Vision
Our mission is to prepare students in mind, body, and spirit to meet the challenges of the world around them. As such, the school continues to share the spiritual concerns of its founders. We seek to promote the love of God in all we do, to liberate the mind and soul from the bondage of ignorance and fear. Our task as a learning community is to help students flourish socially, spiritually, and academically.
In John 8:32, Jesus tells us: “You shall know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” In some ways, this is the bedrock of a solid education: discovering the truth.
We build our community—our curriculum, our interactions with students and family, our staff relations—on this value, the value of truth. It’s one of the principles that set us apart.

Our school is a community of the 21st century learners, committed to providing a caring and nurturing environment where all students can learn, grow, and succeed. We believe in,and appreciate each learner as the unique individuals that they are. Therefore, we strive to support them individually in achieving academic, physical, social and emotional growth.
Our balanced and rigorous academic program supports and motivates each student to reach high levels of personal success. We prepare them for the today and for the tomorrow by instilling in them critical thinking skills, a respect for the core values: honesty, care, responsibility and perseverance and developing a sense of ownership and responsibility for their own learning.
The success of all students is at the core of all we do! BBS will always strive for academic attainment and personal wellbeing.
