At The Bear Creek School, our mission is to provide a high-quality, Christian liberal arts education in a nurturing environment that will enable each student to become the individual God intends. From Preschool through Upper School, students grow in faith, character, and academic excellence so they are equipped to engage the world with wisdom, compassion, and courage. 

This year, we invite you to join us in strengthening our campus for today’s students and future generations. 
If you walk past the outdoor turf at our Upper School, you will see students playing Spikeball, reading, talking with friends, and gathering around bistro tables, while others play ping pong just inside. These spaces foster the strong relational bonds that make Bear Creek a special, nurturing community both inside and outside the classroom. 
 
We continue to expand and equip spaces tailored to the needs of our students on all our campuses so they can flourish in an environment that nurtures both heart and mind.  

Your gift to the 2026 Fund-a-Need will help: 

Add Additional Classrooms in the Main Building 
We are committed to expanding our facilities to better support both teachers and students. These new spaces will allow us to accommodate all our Lower School classes and create more opportunities for each student’s potential to flourish. 
 
Support Drop-Off and Pick-Up with Additional Staff 
To ensure families of our youngest students enjoy a calm, orderly, and safe start and end to each day, we will add dedicated staff support at the Redmond Campus during peak traffic times. 

Campus Access Upgrades 
As part of our commitment to providing a safe, secure learning environment, we are upgrading our camera systems and door entry technology. These will allow us to more effectively monitor and manage daily movement, strengthen staff oversight, and maintain welcoming, well-functioning entry points for students, families, and visitors throughout the school day. 

Explore Adding a Turn Lane on 208th Street 
By constructing a dedicated turn lane, we can significantly improve traffic flow and access to the school, reducing congestion and increasing safety for students, families, and staff.  

Improve Traffic Flow at the Upper School Campus 
Enhanced curb design, signage, and traffic flow patterns will make daily routines safer, smoother, and more efficient, giving parents and students greater peace of mind while helping all our drivers navigate the Upper School lot more effectively.  Additional staff at this campus will also help improve the experience for all. 

New Playground for Preschool 
Early childhood is a time of wonder, growth, and joy. A new playground will provide an inspiring space where our youngest learners can explore, play, and build friendships. The new, improved area will reflect the same care and excellence we bring to the Bear Creek experience every day.
