December 5 Head of School Weekly Update

by Les Rainey on December 04, 2025

Dear BACS Family,

It’s hard to believe we are already down to the final ten days of the semester. As we approach Christmas break, please be mindful of communication coming from divisional leaders regarding upcoming plans and details.

Before moving into announcements, I want to highlight what a wonderful Grandparents Day we experienced before the Thanksgiving break. Our students, faculty and staff, and volunteers are simply the best. Thank you to everyone who helped us honor and celebrate our Bronco grandparents.

Please join us this Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. in the Worship Center for our Christmas Fine Arts Concert. Our students and instructors have worked incredibly hard, and I have no doubt you will walk away encouraged and impressed by the artistic gifts the Lord has blessed our students with.

I’m also excited to share that our secondary students participated in a Biblical Worldview Assessment this week. This tool helps us better understand strengths in how students view their faith, while also giving them space to voice questions they may have. The feedback gathered will directly help guide future Chapels, strengthen classroom biblical integration, and assist in small group discussions. Getting to do this is a reminder of one of the many blessings of being in a Christ-centered school.

Mark your calendars and join us for one of Bay Area Church’s five Christmas Eve services. On December 23rd, services will be held at 5:30 and 7:00 p.m., and on the 24th at 1:30, 3:00, and 4:30 p.m.

Lastly, we are actively planning and are excited about the upcoming school year. As tuition plays a key role in private education, we encourage you to click here to view tuition rates for the 2026–27 school year. Thank you for investing in Kingdom Education—what a joy and privilege it is to partner with you in your child’s growth and learning.

It’s a great day to be a Bronco!
