Welcome to Bethany Christian School!

 

     We at Bethany Christian School provide Christian families with an alternative to the large, impersonal schools that unfortunately have become the norm in our country today. Because our class size is never above fifteen per class, we are able to monitor student progress much more carefully. As a result, academic and behavioral problems can be detected and corrected in a much more timely fashion.

    

Since our total enrollment from pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade is small, we are able to foster a family environment in which it is common to see the older students interacting with the younger ones. For example, high school students receive an elective credit for working as teacher assistants in the lower grades. Since many of our students have siblings at Bethany, it is possible for them to look after each other because all of our classes are in close proximity to each other. The result is a family environment in which all grades from Pre-k through 12th grade feel a part of one school.

 

    Our school strives to produce good citizens by focusing on two main objectives: Christian discipleship and high academic achievement. Students in each grade receive daily classes in Bible instruction as part of their regular schedule of classes. We provide evangelical Christian instruction based upon the basic belief of salvation through “faith alone in Christ alone.” Our primary instructional materials are the Abeka curriculum for the K-6th grades, and the Bob Jones University curriculum for the 7-12th grades. In both of these series of textbooks, emphasis is placed on teaching students academic skills within a framework of Bible exposition and Christian history. Our school is accredited by the Association of Christian Schools International.

 

     Spanish and physical education classes are also offered in addition to the regular academic subjects. Field trips to a skating rink once a month are a regular part of our lower school physical education program, as well as participation in the President’s Physical Fitness Challenge Program for the lower grades.

 

    Our school runs on a traditional 8:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. schedule from the first Tuesday after Labor Day until the end of May. We have the traditional Christmas holiday of two weeks and a spring break of one week in early March. For the upper school (7-12th grades) there is also a spiritual emphasis trip to a Christian camp away from the Dallas area. This time is set aside for a combination of spiritual activities and challenging outdoor activities which are designed to help the students experience exciting outdoor activities as well as team-building activities that emphasize cooperation and supporting your teammates.

  

     We offer all this at a surprisingly affordable tuition rate. Please give us a call at 972-596-5811 to schedule a visit. We’d love to talk with you more about our school.
