PRESCHOOL
"The curriculum builds upon blocks of quality and character that start in Preschool and continue all the way through Upper School. It’s so intentional, and we couldn’t be more impressed."Parent, Shannon M.
LOWER SCHOOL (K-4)
"Teachers capture students’ hearts and they capture their minds. They are able to really teach them and to create an attitude that’s positive around learning. Students love being here.”
Parent, Megan R.
MIDDLE SCHOOL (5-8)
"Getting their brains to exist in more than one classroom at a time so students make connections across subjects in a way that binds subjects together into a biblical worldview—that’s the classical method.”
Teacher, Kyle D.
UPPER SCHOOL (9-12)
“Bear Creek students learn to think through big ideas, to make appropriate moral judgments, and to understand the world at large.”
Teacher, Robert S.
