We have the same focus as BCA: building a strong academic foundation in a warm, nurturing environment.
School begins September 5th
We will have a process of evaluation to join Pre-K, but our preschool students will have priority over outside students applying.
After the Playgroup Interview, we will post our decision on Ravenna and send it to your email via Ravenna within two business days.
Our Satellite 1 building currently houses our Pre-K program but will be used for Preschool for 23-24. It has a bathroom in each classroom, beautiful indoor play areas, and three outdoor play spaces attached to the building.
If you would like to schedule a tour, please contact BCA/WPS Admissions admissions@bcacademy.com.
We offer a different Specialty class each day of the week. Specialty classes are included in the price of tuition. Your child will work with Specialist teachers in these areas: art, music, physical education, computer fundamentals, and library.
