Homeschool Extension Program
Junior/ Senior High classes (Grades 7 - 12)
It is the desire of BCA to assist parents in their God-given responsibility to educate their children, whether they choose a traditional school environment or homeschooling. BCA's Homeschool Extension Program (HSE) is for students whose families are committed to homeschooling as an educational choice and desire outside courses to supplement their secondary homeschool curriculum. Homeschool parents who participate in this program are fully responsible for reporting BCA courses and grades to their school districts. Parents will have access to their child's grades and homework completion records online through Engrade.
Extension Classes
We offer our junior and senior high school classes to homeschool students as space allows. HSE students may take up to two academic classes per semester, plus a gym class if desired. Tentative class schedules will be available in March.
A math placement test is required for those registering for a math or science class. A reading comprehension/language test may be required for those registering for an English or history class.
