Our kids went in as…read morekindergarteners and are looking forward to 1st grade and from the beginning we could see that their mission and vision are taken seriously. The school works hard to make sure those values are carried into the classroom, interactions with students, and the overall culture. You can tell the staff is intentional--there's consistency in expectations, follow-through in teaching, and a steady focus on helping students become thoughtful, responsible learners. It's more than just academics; it feels like a school that's truly committed to its purpose. We're thankful for the effort they put in and how supported our kids have felt.

I have three children - one in high school, one in middle school and one in elementary school - and…read morethey have all attended since kindergarten. We absolutely love this school. My husband and I always wanted our children to have a Christian education but were new to Katy when our oldest turned 5. When we enrolled in 2017, BCA was extremely small (only 40 kids). Each year the school has grown and next year I hear we will have 400 students K through 12. This is really exciting, because the highschoolers will have more opportunities such as athletics through TAPPS and FFA. My kids are athletic and love to play multiple sports. At BCA sports begin in 5th grade and they are able to play volleyball, flag football, basketball, and run track and cross country. Apparently it's on the horizon that BCA will offer baseball and 7 man tackle football soon as well. While it is wonderful that we are now able to provide some of these opportunities to the kids, that is not what keeps us at BCA. BCA is special because while many schools are Christian only in name, BCA teaches every single subject through a biblical lens. Why do we teach students math? Because God is a God of order and He gave us math as a tool - it is worthy of learning! Why teach students science? Because all the world is His creation. We also value BCA teachers are not simply trying to cram information into students so that they test well - they want the students to love learning. I feel like every teacher my child has had (and at this point we have had over 50 across my 3 children) has truly seen my child for who they are and worked with them to grow their individual gifts and improve areas where they struggle. The teachers don't just care for the students during the school year either - it's year round. My daughter's math teacher is hosting a Bible study for her home over the summer for the girls. Another thing I love about BCA is that they teach the kids to treat others with respect. The students say "yes ma'am" and "no sir" to teachers and other authority. Boys pull out chairs for girls and hold doors open, and girls say thank you in return. In an era where chivalry seems relatively dead, we get a lot of compliments on the students for having this basic etiquette. I also really appreciate that it is a cell phone free campus. There are no Chromebooks, and no student is allowed to have a cell phone at any point during the school day no matter what their age or grade. While I initially wondered how my kids would learn to do assignments on a computer if there were non at school, they do learn in upper school. My 9th grader has become proficient in typing and has performed many assignments online, while also being a confident public speaker. Public speaking has huge emphasis at BCA - there are various assignments and opportunities throughout the year in which each and every student presents or recites in front of their peers. Finally, it's a wonderful community of parents. Volunteering is a requirement at the school - each family must volunteer a minimum of 20 hours. That leads to parents being on campus often and getting to know one another. There are also lots of social opportunities for parents - there are moms coffee dates, moms night out, dads nights, a book club, and more. If you want a Christ centered education for your kids, this is it!

My wife and I recently pulled our daughter from WBA after two years. While they're the most…read moreaffordable option around, the atmosphere, lack of communication, cooperation, and consideration for our family ultimately caused us to make our decision. We were extremely excited when we got accepted two years ago, just when the Covid restrictions were being lifted. We knew that public schooling was no longer an option and prayed for direction on what to do. We were introduced to this school by a friend whose child was enrolled and is no longer for similar reasons. At first, they were very kind and gracious and we obviously shared the love of Jesus. It wasn't until we got a few months in and realized that there is serious control issues with the leadership. Everything must be approved and conveyed through the principal who is also the pastor of the independent fundamentalist baptists church that the school operates out of. So much so, that you can never get an immediate answer on anything from anyone, even if they're the individual who is in charge of the department that the questions pertain to. All question to the teachers about anything related to the students must be filtered through him first so that he can dictate what their responses should be. I digress because I could go on and on, but won't belabor at this juncture. We had several conversations with the pastor/principle and he informed us that he had some regrets about opening up enrollment to "non church members" because of differences in opinions. Which was basically his way of saying that any Christians who are not in lock step with methodologies and beliefs of his church are problems because they actually stand up and voice their concerns. Yes, we kept our daughter there for two years. For one reason, the price was unbeatable compared to other private Christian schools. The second was because she got a new teacher who we thought would be a nice change. While I can say that her new teacher was an improvement, it still didn't affect how the school operated. I have to include that both of my daughter's teachers (from last year and this year) are no longer teaching at the school for reasons I care not to discuss here, but just know that they do not pay or treat the teachers very well, AT ALL! To be honest, they teach using the Bob Jones homeschool curriculum, which is basically you paying for homeschooling and then also paying for someone to teach via the homeschooling curriculum. I'm not saying that this is either good or bad. I'm just stating the facts. You make your own decisions. From what we're told, the students rank very high in regards to their academics and are in the highest percentiles, especially compared to public schools, but now that I think about it, we were never given the actual statistics and what measure they were using to determine that information. Honestly, while the price is very desirable, if you're not a member of their church or if you have a voice and expect to be treated with respect and honor, don't bother considering this school for your children. If you're someone who is too meek to stand up for yourself, this school may be right for you. It wasn't for us.

It is obvious that they care about my child and want her to succeed. The owner, staff and teachers are truly exceptional! They are committed to giving her the best preschool experience possible.

Thank you Goddard school for going the extra mile in giving her the tools she needs to be successful in Kindergarten.
