BJA’s secondary division offers the best of college-preparatory academics with advanced opportunities in the arts, public speaking and more. Our pursuit of excellence, however, extends beyond our students’ external accomplishments to their hearts. We want our students to grow in their personal walk with God and develop Christlike character, graduating as mature young men and women prepared to serve the Lord wherever He may call them.
Dedicated to Christlike character
Our highest priority is that each student grows to imitate Jesus Christ in love, motive and action. It is the desire of our faculty to model this kind of Christlike character themselves and to find opportunities to mentor and encourage students. Our students are also challenged to take personal responsibility, to pursue their academics and extracurricular activities “with all their might” and to seek opportunities to love and serve others.
