School Reviews

I attended BJA in the 90s and until this very day, the bonds, lessons, and guidance I was taught help daily in my adult life. I learned so much about the character, human thoughts, and how God loves me. Keeping God first in my life has helped me be a much better person in a world where deterrence is easy. My son LOVES attending BJA. He always had a smile on his face on his way to school. I know he is safe there and being well taken care of the outside of my watch. The care and genuine love given by the faculty here is felt not only by my son but by myself also. Children know when you have their best interest in. Well, BJA does.

It wasn't until I reached adulthood that I understood the value of what BJA had given me. The love, accountability, and consistent messaging that supported me in honoring Christ is yielding fruit in my life and my children's lives. As a business owner, I find myself "pulling up" the many lessons I learned about HOW to practically honor GOD in our daily business practices. If you want your child to have a Christ-centered education, BJA is the place.
