UPPER SCHOOL · 7TH–12TH GRADE
Growing in Wisdom.
Prepared for What’s Next.
The Upper School years are a time for students to discover who they are, deepen their faith, pursue academic excellence, and prepare for what God is calling them to do next.
At BRCS, students are known, challenged, and encouraged within a community that values meaningful relationships, thoughtful learning, and purposeful growth.
Cultivating Joy and Self-Worth
THE UPPER SCHOOL EXPERIENCE

LIVE FAITHFULLY

THE UPPER SCHOOL JOURNEY
Growing in Independence & Purpose
7TH–8TH GRADE
Building Confidence
Middle School is a time of tremendous growth. Students strengthen academic skills, develop greater independence, deepen their understanding of biblical truth, and discover new interests through electives, clubs, service, and enrichment opportunities.
BRCS intentionally prepares students for the transition into high school while providing the relationships and support they need along the way.
9TH–12TH GRADE
Preparing for What Comes Next
High School students are challenged to master content, think critically, pursue advanced academic opportunities, and take greater ownership of their education.
Through Honors, AP, Dual Enrollment, electives, leadership, service, and college and career preparation, students develop the knowledge, confidence, and character to pursue their next step with purpose.
MORE THAN A SCHEDULE OF CLASSES
Known. Challenged. Connected.
Upper School students are part of a community intentionally designed to foster meaningful relationships, personal responsibility, and belonging.
Through the House System, retreats, clubs, service, athletics, creative arts, and shared experiences, students build relationships across grade levels while discovering new interests and developing their gifts.
BRCS’s House System specifically brings students in grades 7–12 together in intergenerational groups, which is a distinctive story worth highlighting here.
