Transformational Learning at Bellevue Christian

Transformational Learning

Our mission 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.
