Enrollment
Don’t delay – ENROLL today. Spaces are limited! Belize Christian Academy is an excellent place for students who want a great education, extensive extracurricular opportunities, friends for life, and a solid Biblical foundation. BCA is also an excellent place to work. Our small class sizes make a big difference in the educational development of the student and performance of the staff. Our primary classes are an average of 12 students and our high school classes are no larger than 25. All students have textbooks and materials to be successful in school. Our staff is provided with teacher’s guides, materials, professional development, and administrative support.
New Student Registration Information
We would love to have the opportunity to educate your precious child. Note: Students in grades 9-12 must have PSE scores and a certified copy of their high school transcript or primary grade report. If you would like a tour, please call the school office to set up a tour appointment. Many parents ask if they can leave their child on campus to visit classes before attending, but this is very distracting to the current students and sometimes uncomfortable for your child. We would like to accommodate a smooth transition and do not mind giving school tours and allowing you and your child to stay on campus for a short period to eat lunch, visit the library, and sit in a couple classes for brief periods. If you are interested in a more detailed school visit, be sure to inform our office staff.
Current Student Registration Information
If you are re-enrolling your students for the upcoming school year, don’t delay. Because we guarantee small class sizes, it is imperative that you register now to secure your child’s seat. You may download a copy of the registration form below, complete it, and drop it by the office. You may also register right now online!
Prospective Student Information
We would love to give you a tour of our campus and inform you first hand of our wonderful student programs. Call the office to make an appointment.
Finance
Enrollment fees must be paid before the start of school. Tuition payments, if paid monthly, are due the first school day of each month. Please notify the Office Manager in advance when there is a problem paying fees on time. No documents of any kind (report cards, transcripts, visa application letters, etc.) will be released to a student or parent until all fees are paid. A limited amount of financial assistance is available. Please contact the Office Staff if tuition assistance is needed.
Bus Transportation
Bus transportation for BCA students is provided to and from Belmopan every school day. The bus picks students up at 7:30 a.m. in front of Angelus Press, at the tennis courts, and at the Comprehensive School sidewalk. The bus leaves BCA at 3:00 in the afternoon and drops students at the same stops. Also, a bus runs from San Ignacio to BCA in the mornings and back again in the afternoons. The bus leaves San Ignacio at 7:00 a.m.
Arrival and Dismissal
All students should arrive between 7:30 and 7:50 a.m. to be ready for class promptly at 8:00. All students should be picked up promptly at the end of school, and no student should remain after school without pre-arrangement with a teacher. Failure to have your child at school on time will result in a “tardy” and hinders your child’s education and character development. Failure to pick up your child immediately after school creates a hardship for staff, and more importantly, it makes your child anxious.
Uniforms
All students will be required to be in uniform. The uniform consists of a BCA white polo shirt and blue bottoms. Primary school students may wear navy blue pants, skirts, or knee-shorts. High school students may wear navy blue pants or skirts.
Please contact the office staff for information/purchase of school badges and P.E uniforms. Limited uniform sizes are available.
Food and Beverages
Many BCA students bring lunch to school. A licensed food handler also acts as a vendor for BCA. Students may order hot lunches daily. Please avoid high sugar foods as it does affect a student’s energy level and ability to concentrate. Soft drinks are not allowed on campus. More details can be obtained about this arrangement from the Office Staff.
Discipline
One of our goals at Belize Christian Academy is to help each student develop good Christian character. We believe that school is an extension of the home. We commit ourselves to work with you to train and nurture Christ-centered character development and use sound principles of discipline. Discipline will be administered in a firm and consistent manner with love and a caring attitude.
Our general strategy for handling disciplinary matters is as follows: First, student discipline is addressed within the framework of each teacher’s classroom management policies. When misbehavior becomes chronic, students receive a Rule Violation Slip along with natural and appropriate consequences. The Corrective Action Notice is a formal disciplinary report that is sent home to notify parents that unacceptable behavior needs to be addressed in a more serious way.
