About Us

Bella Vista C.A.R.E.s

Christ Communicators who look to the Bible for guidance and growth and who share the love of Christ in diverse and meaningful ways. 

Aspiring Leaders who have the confidence and excellent communication skills (speaking, writing, and listening) to serve and inspire others to positive action.

Respectful and Responsible Citizens who contribute to and serve their peers, teachers, and community.

Engaged Learners who actively seek to understand the subject material, clarify anything which they do not understand, work hard, and extend the scope of their learning into areas outside of specified course work.

FAITH & FAMILY

Bella Vista Christian Academy provides Christian education to children from 3 years old through 8th grade. What is it, really, that makes a particular school stand out from all the rest? Is it academics? Partly. Is it safety? Partly. Is it truly dedicated teachers? At BVCA we have found success isn't a product of any one aspect of a school, but rather a unique melding of many factors.

Our school is all about relationships: with students...parents...families...and most importantly, with Jesus. Beginning with our 3-year-old preschool classes and continuing through 8th grade we will walk with you in your child's educational life.

Bella Vista has two pastors on site to help families in their Christian Faith. We also have
a Director of Christian Education who holds various events and opportunities for children and youth. Just call the school office for more information or to set-up an appointment to meet with one of our pastors about baptism and/or growing in the Christian faith.
