5th – 6th Grade

5th-6th grades at BRCS offer excellence in the classroom within a God-honoring environment. Students are challenged academically and prepared for the transition to middle school.

• Teachers are intentional about promoting individual responsibility and accountability. They work with the students on organizational skills and self advocacy. 
• Students learn and apply Christian principles through problem solving, and gain an understanding of a Biblical worldview that is applicable to their lives.
• In addition to core academic courses, students participate in Bible, Spanish, Technology, Music, Art, P.E., and Library. Key enrichment events include the Science Fair, History Fair, academic competitions and field trips.

Technology

BRCS uses Google Apps for Education, Chromebooks, and iPads in classrooms. Technology classes equip students with an overview of the responsible use of information and safe and effective online searching. Students gain skills with presentation software, desktop publishing, and keyboarding applications. Computer projects are integrated into the core curriculum and help students reflect on what they are learning in other subjects.

Academic Competitions

As an ACSI member school, we offer students multiple opportunities to excel in their area of gifting, at the district, regional, state and national level. Students may participate in Spelling Bees, Math Olympics, Creative Writing & Poetry competitions, and Music Festivals.

Leadership Development

We cultivate leaders who can be world-changers for Christ. Sixth grade students serve as Prayer Buddy leaders once a month during chapel. The Leader Lab elective provides additional service and leadership opportunities as students serve other teachers and students on campus.

Resource

The Resource Department provides academic support to students with identified learning needs. Program options may include in-class assistance, individual tutoring, and direct instruction in core subjects.
