Why BGA

Battle Ground Academy’s mission is to ignite and nurture student curiosity, intellect, and character.

To achieve this goal, faculty at BGA are singularly focused on your child. Our teachers bring their passions into the classroom and develop deep, caring relationships that inspire a love of subjects and a true love for learning. This includes an ability to adapt lessons and curricula that fuel a student's intellectual curiosity, and leave space in the day for inquiry and reflection.  A good school knows your child by name; an exceptional school knows your child by heart. BGA is exceptional in this respect.

Our globally-inspired, college preparatory curriculum readies students for challenges both in and out of the classroom. We want the critical thinking skills that are honed in the classroom to be naturally and consistently put into practice beyond our campus.

A BGA education is enriched by opportunities - in athletics, on the stage, through service learning, spirit days, field trips, and assemblies with a wide variety of speakers. We understand that teachable moments are everywhere (often in unexpected places and frequently student-led) and we are bound neither by our mission nor government mandate to teach in only one way.  We believe in the transformative power of independent education.

Regardless of when a student starts at BGA, our goal is to provide for each student an environment that develops and values relational experiences within the school.
