High School Academic Program Department

The purpose of Bellevue Christian School is reflected in its mission statement: to prepare young people to live faithfully and fully for Christ in a rapidly changing world with the ability to understand, evaluate and transform their world from the foundation of God's unchanging values. This mission is brought to life through three pillars, SCHOLARSHIP, RELATIONSHIP, and DISCIPLESHIP.

Scholarship

• Rigorous coursework provides opportunity to develop habits of learning and intellect
• Broad course offerings
• Use of biblical principles in increasingly complex ways to question and evaluate, to develop alternatives, and to consider the “why” behind their thinking
• Students may be asked to consider "what if I'm wrong?" and develop a process for returning to and evaluating again their guiding principles
• Wrestling with diverse worldviews sharpens, not dulls scholarship

Discipleship

• Content is not separate from faith. Teachers actively use content to reveal biblical principles
• Diverse range of faith communities to hear, engage with, and evaluate various viewpoints
• Intentional opportunities to see, connect, and walk out identity in Christ
• Obedience to Christ is more than “correct behavior”
  Service, both in projects and to one another

Relationship

• Building community
• Engage with, find and give acceptance in, and serve others
• Required course (Relationships) considers the elements of a biblical relationship
