We are pleased to offer the opportunity for homeschool students in grades 1 through 12 to complement their education by enrolling as a part-time Christian school student here at BJA. Applicants for part-time attendance go through the regular admission process. Once a student is offered enrollment, the appropriate office works with the parent to schedule the particular class or classes that are desired. Part-time students may be enrolled in up to three classes each semester.
Part-time students may transition to full time after submitting necessary grade reports and, for grades 1-5, completing an academic screening. Students must attend BJA full-time for both semesters of the senior year in order to graduate from BJA.
