BCHE Guardians Academy 2025/2026 |
GUARDIANS Academy meets on Mondays, with some Mondays devoted to field trips and activities. Our morning programs are inclusive--we begin at 8:45am and end at 12:30pm (after lunch), and students participate in the full morning program instead of choosing individual hourly classes. For those who want additional learning opportunities, there are a la carte class options each Monday afternoon--these can be added to your cart for additional cost. On Activity Mondays, afternoon classes will still meet, with the exception of one fall Activity Day and one spring Activity Day. The cost of most activity days are included in your morning Academy program tuition. Each Monday begins with Prayer & Pledge, and students will be given opportunities to lead and enrich the morning gathering time. All students should bring a brown bag lunch. Recess and break times are built into the learning day. All program levels will include memorization and challenge opportunities, and ways to encourage each other and build confidence! |
