Dear Bellevue Christian Community,

As I reflect on my first year with this school, it has been a great pleasure to witness a rich legacy of excellence, discipleship and care for our teachers, our students and our families. Our founders’ vision and mission for this school to prepare students to understand, evaluate and transform the world is breathed into the very fabric of the dayto-day on each of our three campuses. I am humbled and honored to serve as a leader for the Bellevue Christian community.

The pages of this report offer a glimpse of the effort and hard work from our teachers to come out of the COVID-19 pandemic into a year that wasn’t quite normal … but almost. In partnership with you – our families, friends, alumni and donors – we were able to stand together, united by a deep commitment to provide students an excellent education in a safe environment, and your efforts were magnified by your support for BCS.

You and every donor thanked in this report have invested in the ongoing successes of Bellevue Christian, whether by helping to secure the future of teacher salaries through the newly established Teacher Endowment, ensuring our operations through the Founders’ Fund, supporting our elementary campuses during Jog-a-Thon or one of the many other ways to support our school.

Each of you has a unique reason for supporting Bellevue Christian. In this season of thanks and giving, I am deeply grateful for your trust as we faithfully steward your gifts into the success and education of our students this year and in many years to come.

Together in purpose,

Eric Rasmussen Head of School

Our MISSION

.

is to prepare young people to live faithfully for Christ in a rapidly changing world with the ability to understand, evaluate and transform their world from the foundation of GOD’S UNCHANGING VALUES

TRANSFORMATIONAL LEARNING

Ourmission to prepare young people to live faithfully for Christ gives Bellevue Christian the opportunity to disciple students in a warm and nurturing environment, while also growing their minds and experiences in the classroom. But it’s not just about discipleship our mission is to also help our students understand their place in a rapidly changing world.

This is why we use Teaching for Transformation in the classrooms. It’s more than a framework for teaching, it’s a learning model embedded in a transformational worldview that invites students to see the story of renewal by the grace of God.

At the beginning of every year, teachers:

Set a Deep Hope -- a guide to teaching within a transformational worldview.

Follow a Storyline -- connecting learning experiences to God’s story.

Examine Throughlines -- connecting and engaging as disciples in the world to help students understand their roles in God’s story.

Once teachers help students see the story, they can then demonstrate how to live the story through Formational Learning Experiences (FLEx) opportunities for learners to engage in real work that meets real needs for real people.

Teachers take students on a journey throughout the year, making connections between what is taught in the classroom to tangible experiences outside the classroom.

The results truly reflect our dedicated work for students to leave BCS with an ability to understand and evaluate the world around them.

THE FOUNDERS’ FUND is a vibrant example of the joy and power of philanthropy in community. Your gifts, big and small, provide the bedrock of support necessary for the operating budget of Bellevue Christian School.

This annual fund holds an important role beyond tuition. It empowers us to strengthen critical functions that directly benefit students: livable wages to recruit and retrain great employees; curriculum that helps learning come alive; and the infrastructure –buses, technology and buildings – that keeps our operation going.

A contribution to the FOUNDERS’ FUND is a gift that matters. A gift that makes a difference in the classroom. A difference to a teacher, a bus driver, maintenance needs, educational technology support and OUR STUDENTS.

We are dedicated to stewarding your gift carefully to re-invest in the discipleship of all BCS students and invite you to continue walking with us in 2022-23 on our mission with a contribution to our FOUNDERS’ FUND during this giving season.
