Offering an exceptional Christian education for over 70 years.

In Pre-K & Kindergarten, children are introduced to school in a fun and enriching space with teachers who truly care and spread God's love to their students everyday.

Grades 1-5 focus on the academic, emotional, physical and spiritual growth of each child. Students participate in weekly specials including music and art.

High School Prep prepares 6th-8th grade students for high school and beyond. Students receive departmentalized instruction and have the option to take advanced classes.

What do our families say about Bethesda?

The small classes have a family-like feel and have allowed for some individualized instruction. And the teachers and staff are always responsive and care deeply for the students.

Brittnay K. 

The principal and staff greet students each morning as they arrive, and they know each student by name. Our child looks forward to going to school and comes home happy each day.

Elizabeth H.

My children have been coming here since preschool and they love their BIA family. We have made life-long friends at this school both kids and parents alike.

Yolanda G.

BIA is the school for you if you would like to see your child grow as a person in terms of character and academically. The staff is like an extended family that look out for your kids.
