Research Bethel Baptist Christian Academy private Schools in Jamestown, New York

“I have a child at Bethel and am thrilled with her education. The small class sizes allow individualized attention from the very dedicated teachers. The academics are excellent with a curriculum that is more advanced than most public schools. No the kids aren't able to have some of the frilly classes like photography or swimming, but they are being taught academics, learning how to think and see the world from a Christian perspective, and how to live as a godly Christian in this world that emphasizes materialism and oh so many other negative and harmful things. I also know that former graduates have been very successful despite what some think they have missed by being in a Christian school...bank presidents, lawyers, teachers, missionaries, pastors, etc. I like being able to be involved in my child's school and have many opportunities to do that.”

“I went to this schoool for 4 years untill i moved to ga. I loved bbca, yes it might not offer much, but its small, everyone has a friend, the students are very welcome . I know i would much rather have great friends then extra curicular activities. The teachers are very supportive and friendly.”

“My child attended this school until the 9th grade, then transfered to our district's public school. My child's academic advanced placement opportunities were limited due to the less advanced classes offered at Bethel. Although Bethel offered Bible classes and weekly chapel sessions, it didn't offer adequate academics with hardly any other electives like TV production, photography, or child development. Because of our public school, my child has received several art scholarships to prestigious colleges she never would have received if we kept her at Bethel. She also takes every AP class available and already has 3 college credits, although only in 11th grade. I understand that it is important to many to have their children attending a 'Christian' school, but is it really worth it to sacrifice their futures for it? Rather than spending large funds on a new addition, how about hiring more teachers so better classes can be implemented.”

“Bethel is an excellent private school with fabulous teachers and small class sizes to facilitate learning. They provide an solid academic program in a wonderful environment. They have basic music and sports activities available but do not provide the scope of a larger school. Parents are offered many opportunities for involvement and parent/teacher communication is exceptional. This school provides a caring and personal environment for children that fosters self confidence in a way that larger schools cannot compete with.”

“Nice small school with excellent quality in education. It has a band that's not so big but it's there and the sports are there and most everyone is involved. E.C. activites are hardly available but the atmosphere is friendly.”

“This school has no disiplinary actions at all! The students , many male, are getting away with things that in a public school children would be exspelled or suspended at the least. Something has to be done along the lines of a stricted punishment! For the saftey of our kids!”
