Computer 

During once a week 30-minute sessions, students will learn computer rules, various computer components, and computer terminology while exploring games and websites created to sharpen digital skills. They will also begin to learn basic keyboarding and mouse skills while practicing letter and sound recognition using Typing Club Jungle Junior. Students will be introduced to robotics and coding/programming, using Code and Go Mouse and Beebot. All students will learn Digital Citizenship throughout the year and practice applying Christian principles and a Biblical worldview in the digital world.

Fine Motor Lab

Fine motor skills are the ability to make movements using the small muscles in the hands and wrists. These skills involve the coordination of the hands and fingers with the eyes. Improving these skills is a really important part of a child’s development, as we use fine motor skills in a variety of ways every day.


In the Pre-K Fine Motor Lab class, various activities are planned to involve a child’s dominant and non-dominant hand working together. Students are provided a variety of materials, games and experiences to build strong fine motor skills.

Music 

Students explore the musical world by singing, playing instruments, creating, and listening. Movement and play are key elements of the child-centered curriculum informed by the philosophies and practices of Orff, Kodály, and Dalcroze. Students will sing in several programs throughout the year which include the Christmas play, Grandparents Day, In His Steps, and weekly in chapel. 

Library 

Students will be introduced to many different authors, illustrators, and a variety of literature genres. Students attend library once a week for 30 minutes.

P.E. 

Students will explore motor skills and movement patterns using an integrated curriculum. They will learn responsible personal and social behavior in a variety of physical activity settings. They will be provided frequent and diverse opportunities to engage in physical activities necessary to support a healthy mind and body. Students attend P.E. four times a week for 30 minutes each class. At least one day per week will be dedicated to our "Eagle Running Program," a self-paced activity specifically focused on improving cardiovascular fitness.

Chapel 

Grammar School students enjoy Chapel once a week in two sessions: PreK through second grades and third through sixth grades. In order to study and apply meaning, the yearly school-wide Scripture is divided into sections for each month. In Chapel, Grammar School worships in song, Scripture, and prayer, followed by a special speaker who teaches the specific passage in a developmentally appropriate way. Our speakers include local pastors, children’s ministers, youth leaders, Christian camp directors, parents, and BCS teachers, staff, and administrators. All would agree that Chapel is the favorite time of the week!

Recess 

Students have the opportunity to learn socialization skills through play and free activities outdoors. Lunch recess occurs after students are dismissed after eating and generally is 10-15 minutes per day. In addition, students enjoy a 20-30 minute recess daily.
