EARLY LEARNING CENTER // PRE-K

EARLY LEARNING CENTER // PRE-K

In our Early Learning Center, we believe that when children are active participants in their own learning, they create meaningful connections between their school and their world. Children find true joy as they grow, play, and create in our language-rich learning community.

Our theme-based pre-K curriculum allows students to make connections across subjects with daily opportunities to grow in numeracy, literacy, scientific inquiry, and character development.

The educational experience and learning environment of our Middle School balances academics with the interpersonal skills needed for developing boys and girls of high character.

With small classes and weekly advisory, we know each student well. We recognize their unique strengths and weaknesses, and the entire BGA team – teacher, coach, advisor, grade-level team leader, counselor, and dean – works together to ignite passions and nurture curiosity.

UPPER SCHOOL // GRADES 9-12

As a college preparatory school, we put a strong focus on academics, but we know college preparedness goes beyond academic expectations. It’s about resilience, honor, character, service, and leadership.

Upper School students are guided to find a balance that allows them to complete their coursework at a high level while finding time to participate in extracurricular activities.

We walk alongside students as they navigate the challenges of being teenagers and prepare to live independently.
