About

Located in Sierra Madre, Bethany provides a blend of strong academics with outstanding enrichments, offered in a caring and nurturing environment.

Description

It is our firm belief that Bethany Christian School provides an environment where we can best partner with you in providing an excellent education for your student. Christ-centered excellence is at the core of all we do and we look forward to sharing with you the GIGANTIC OPPORTUNITIES that our small school provides.

Our goal is to meet the educational needs of the whole child - academically, socially, and spiritually:

-Students are encouraged to excel academically in an environment of support and accountability. Annually, BCS students average two grade levels or better above the national average on standardized tests and are regularly accepted into the most sought after college-preparatory high schools.

-We emphasize Christian character traits and work with parents to hold students accountable for their behavior, which will enable them to mature into young men and woman who are pleasing to God and good citizens to their community.

-We do not want to be merely a Christian school in name only, but we endeavor to put Jesus Christ at the center of all we do. A biblical world view is integrated throughout the curriculum, and our students are encouraged to know Christ as their savior and grow deeper in their Christian faith.

Mission

Bethany Christian School's MISSION is to partner with parents to educate, develop, and nurture students for a life of Christ-centered excellence in academics, Christian character, and servant-leadership.

Great place for my child, we are very happy with the education that our son is getting. Diverse student population, small class size, a wonderful sense of community here. Newly renovated after care area for K-8th grade. After school programs are available such as chess, bricks for kids, art, music and sports. There is even a program for home schooled students called Independent Lions. This school has just about everything you could want!
My goddaughter was attending Kindergarten at this school and after a short while I noticed a change in her demeanor. After 2 weeks of attending this school I found out that she was afraid of another 5 year old girl in the class. My goddaughter explained to her parents and I that this girl had dug her finger underneath her nail, bent her fingers backward and grabbed at her stomach. I spoke with 3 other parents who made complaints about this same child bullying their children. I spoke with the teacher who on the first occasion stated that she would speak with the parent. On the second occasion I spoke with the Kindergarten teacher about the bullying she stated that since the incident happened the previous day and since my child did not speak up the moment it happened nothing would be done. Since her teacher was unwilling to help, I had to take control of the situation myself. I spoke to the parent and the child myself, and that seemed to end the attacks for approximately 1 week. After that, this bully attacked my goddaughter, she kept hitting my goddaughter until my goddaughter struck her back right in the solar plexus knocking the wind out of the bully. It was legitimate self defense, yet my god daughter was punished, while the bully enjoyed "diplomatic immunity". The bully told the school that my goddaughter had hit her first. My god daughter, her parents, and I had a conference with the principal, the kindergarten teacher and the head of the after school program. During the conversation they tried to make it look like my goddaughter was to blame. The kindergarten teacher stated we were the first to make a complaint about the bully which was a lie. She didn't account for the fact that I spoke with 3 other parents who told me that they told the teacher about the bully. She recanted and stated "Oh yeah, well that was a long time ago!" despite the fact that school had just started in late August. To make a long story short I stated that "I will not have my goddaughter in the same class with this brat!". The principal replied with, I can't/won't kick the child out of the school for something this insignificant. 9-9-2016 was my god daughters last day at Bethany. We left the school knowing that the bully has an older brother in the school who also attends the after school program. It equals approximately $2000 a month for Bethany. They picked money over morals and ethics.
Its alright, but I do wish that they had a better after school programs like tutoring or even a guiding councilor for the kids. Over all the staff do look out for the kids and the principle does show an interest toward the kids who fall short on their assignments. My biggest disappointment is: its suppose to be a christian school but a few staff people sure don't act like it...
