Service Projects

BRCA is involved in a number of service projects throughout the year. It is the goal of the Academy to nurture hearts of service into every child. Service projects this year included visits to local nursing homes, writing missionaries, and collecting presents for Operation Christmas Child as well as ongoing opportunities to serve on campus.

Service Hours

High School students are required to complete 20 hours of service each year as part of their curriculum. Students log their service hours online for approval by their Bible teacher. Examples of service hours include volunteering at their church, helping out around the school with maintenance projects, participating in mission trips, and lending a helping hand to others in the community.

Buddy Program

Older students team up with younger students as “buddies” throughout the year. Buddies help new students get acquainted with the school, participate in special classroom projects together, and, most importantly, form lasting friendships.
