Philosophy of Education

Bucharest Christian Academy follows a holistic education approach and seeks to care for each child’s intellectual, physical, emotional, moral, social and spiritual growth. We affirm and encourage the pursuit and examination of ideas, knowledge and truth in an open forum, and evaluate these through a Biblical worldview. The Bible speaks to all areas of life, and is essential in the development of an educated person.

Our School Motto

“So that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life.”
—Philippians 2:15-16a

Our goal is to prepare students to be creative, critical thinkers, academically equipped for the post-secondary education of their choice, while fulfilling God's purpose for their lives both personally and vocationally, with a strong sense of self-worth and respect for the worth of others. In order to accomplish this goal, BCA recognizes that:

  • Parents are responsible for the education and training of their children. BCA, an American style international school in Bucharest, is privileged to partner with parents by providing formal education in accordance with the Statement of Faith, policies and curriculum.

  • Learners are precious individuals with God-given uniqueness who are encouraged to develop to their full potential. (Matthew 19:13-14; Psalms 149:13-17)

  • The director, teaching staff, administrators and other staff members are vital contributors to the growth and learning process of the individual child. (2 Timothy 2:1-2)

BCA endeavors to:

  • Maintain high academic standards and goals. (Colossians 3:23)

  • Create a nurturing environment with sufficient structure and discipline to promote effective learning.

  • Create an environment conducive to developing a feeling of worth in each individual.

  • Foster an appreciation and respect for Romania, as well as for ethnic diversity within the school. (Revelation 7:9)

  • Weave biblical principles throughout the whole school experience. (2 Timothy 2:15; 3:16-17)

  • Utilize the best integrated curriculum available.

  • Employ or permit activities that are congruent with our philosophy.

  • Encourage each student to develop physically, socially, and spiritually, as Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man. (Luke 2:52)

  • Create an awareness of the different Christian ministries of the BCA community. (1 Corinthians 12:12)

  • Care for the well-being of the teaching staff. (John 13:34)
