BCHE Academy provides a once-per-week (sometimes twice.week) opportunity for group learning. We meet for TWELVE weeks in the Fall and TWELVE weeks in the Spring. For safety, locations and dates are only available to registered members.

These are drop-off classes, and are intended for students who are ready to be independent of parents/guardians for the duration of chosen classes. You may register children for as many or as few classes as you like. Students are expected to take classes seriously; respect all teachers, staff, and each other; all teachers, students, and parents at Academy are expected to honor the BCHE dress and behavior code. All children present must be in a class or in study hall at all times--students are not allowed to wander the halls or use parts of the building in which we are not authorized to be.

Multiple class options are available for ages 4-19. Classes run from 9:00am to 4:00/5:00pm.

All teachers undergo a background check.

Childcare may be provided for teacher children (who are too young for classes) ONLY, during that teacher's class, by teacher request.

ALL STUDENTS (returning and new) must pay the semester fee, using the registration link. This is a per student, per semester fee, NOT a per class fee. Class fees are added to student registration, depending on class choices of each family. Total cost will be semester registration fee per student plus class fees for chosen classes. If there is need, Co-Op fees may be made in three installments--email treas@bched.com for consideration of delayed payment.

Participation in BCHE Academy includes a per semester volunteer requirement, which is in addition to the general service requirement that is part of Standard Membership (if selected at joining). There is also an opt-out option for Academy service.
