My daughter has been at BCS Preschool for 2 years and we have been so thankful for our time here. The administration is responsive and welcoming. The fact that my kids regularly walk into the director's office to play with her toys and books while I visit with her says something: this is a place that welcomes parents and their feedback. I saw this firsthand lately as my 4 year old daughter struggled to fall asleep during nap time. While some of her classmates were transitioning to the non-nap room and I was worried this might be the only option left for our daughter, our family just wasn't ready to do it. I reached out to the staff, and the administration met with me and even took the time to bring in the classroom teacher to brainstorm what would work best for my DAUGHTER. They listened to my needs and helped come up with an incentive system that worked wonders (we are now SUCCESSFULLY sleeping at nap time!). I appreciated their willingness to see our needs and meet them in ways that I know took time and work for them. My daughter LOVES going to school. From the summer water days to the Jog a Thon to the 4th of July Bike Parade...there is always something fun happening and a bunch of parents on the sidelines to cheer and take pictures. I always feel welcomed in the classroom and I like the care the teachers put into the environment. It feels clean and safe, the teachers PLAY with the kids and teach them how to interact with each other, and it just looks like a lot of FUN. The staff cares about knowing my daughter and they appreciate what makes her unique. For a working mom like myself, I'm so thankful I get to leave my daughter in the hands of a staff who will LOVE her and help her grow. read more

Our family's experience at Bradshaw Christian School Elementary was incredibly disappointing and ultimately led us to withdraw our children. One of our biggest concerns was the school's approach to child behavior and emotional development. In our experience, staff were quick to view behavior as a discipline issue rather than asking what might be driving it. Instead of teaching emotional regulation and coping skills, our son was frequently sent to the office to "reflect," which felt more punitive than supportive. We often felt that shame and compliance were prioritized over helping children develop the skills they were still learning. The school's mission states that it is committed to nurturing students' spiritual, academic, physical, emotional, and social development. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. When our child struggled with managing big emotions, we felt there was little curiosity about what he might have been experiencing or what support he needed. Instead, conversations quickly centered around behavior plans and recommendations for evaluation for ADHD. From our perspective, the behavior plans emphasized earning approval through compliance rather than building emotional regulation, resilience, and connection. We were also concerned that, unlike public schools, private schools are not required to provide many support services. Families whose children need additional help--whether speech therapy, emotional support, or other learning accommodations--may find themselves responsible for arranging and paying for those services. In our case, we were told that if our child remained at the school, we would need to provide and pay for a full-time aide in addition to tuition, uniforms, school supplies, and required volunteer hours. To be fair, we did encounter a few teachers who genuinely cared about children and wanted to help them succeed. However, those experiences were overshadowed by what we perceived to be a larger school culture that lacked understanding of child development and trauma-informed approaches. We also noticed significant teacher turnover during our time there, which made consistency difficult. After transferring our son to public school, the difference was remarkable. He was met with compassion, appropriate supports, and educators who focused on understanding his needs while teaching him the skills he was missing rather than punishing him for not already having them. He has flourished academically, socially, and emotionally. Every family has different priorities, but if your child has big feelings, emotional regulation challenges, speech or learning needs, or simply benefits from a more supportive and individualized approach, I would encourage you to carefully explore all of your options before choosing Bradshaw Christian. Our family wishes we had. read more

My grandchildren attend and I could not be happier. They are learning academically and about the Bible. What a blessing to have this school. read more

We got on the yearlong waitlist when our son was 1yo so he could start at the preschool when he turned 2yo. Our sole purpose was so that he could build a strong foundation in morals and values rooted in Christianity. Once we got in, we were a bit surprised at many of the extra costs such as mandatory volunteer hours, which would become extra fees if not performed, extra costs for food, and even teachers' wishlists of what to buy them during Teacher Appreciation (who does that?). We paid it no mind because the purpose was for our son build a stronger relationship with God; so we went along with it. Throughout his approximate 6 months at Bradshaw Christian, he was essentially viewed and labeled as a problem child. By no means, do we believe our son is a perfect angel; however, he is a pretty typical, 2yo. If you're a parent, you know what I mean. We do what we can to get him to use gentle hands, keep his hands to himself, but at the same time, we want him to still be friendly and loving. The kid doesn't realize or believe he is doing anything wrong when he's hugging friends who may not want a hug. He's a 2yo and doesn't understand the concept of personal space. We've talked to the "teachers and admin" multiple times about several different things. One of the things was they seem to enjoy bringing 2yo to the office for punishment. Fine. No problem with that. Then they want us to pick him up from the office. I have told them that doesn't teach him anything. He immediately relates his actions as going to the office and getting picked up by us. They're simply reinforcing poor behavior and they don't get it. We've gotten numerous "incident reports" detailing what a horrible kid our son is. We can count on one hand how many reports we've gotten of him getting hurt by other friends. When we tell them and show them pictures of his bruises, scratches, etc., (one of them that looked like little circle bruises that looked like a kid's hand) they tell us because all of his other friends are defending themselves or others against him. Haha, are you kidding me?! Please tell me more about how our son is a sociopath! They've told us we need to shadow him or pick him up if he's acting out because they don't have proper staffing. Well, do we get a partial refund? No, of course not! So what am I paying you for? Fast forward to a day where they asked for us to leave work to shadow him or pick him up. I pull myself away to eventually go pick him up and I tell them not to take him to the office. They ignore that and so I hung up on them. I get there to pick him up and they want to talk about his behavior or whatever in front of him. I tell them no because that's an adult conversation. They just don't get it. Suffice it to say, they got their feelings hurt and kicked us out. Well, I hope they plan on giving us a refund for the rest of the month. Several of the teachers don't seem to be happy at all, and look like they hate their jobs. We've got plenty of examples of them trying to paint our son as some kind of a terror, but Yelp doesn't allow that much text. Long review but I can see why there have been several negative reviews. I was hoping that was a fluke or long gone. Doesn't appear to be. God is guiding us in a different direction and we pray they can figure it out. If they can't, hopefully they'll stop saying they're doing it for God's glory because that simply isn't true. read more

5 Stars - A School Set Apart by the Glory of God If I could give Bradshaw Christian School more than five stars, I absolutely would. From the yard duties to the teachers, office staff, leadership team, and up to the superintendents--every single person on that campus has poured into my children and loved them as their own. I don't speak from a distance. I've had the privilege of being both a parent and a part-time employee, and what I've witnessed firsthand is nothing short of the goodness of God in action. Bradshaw is not perfect--no place run by humans is--but what sets them apart is their heart, their pursuit of excellence, and the way they do everything in prayer and purpose. My children came from the public school system, and the transformation we've seen since joining Bradshaw has been undeniable. Spiritually, academically, emotionally--our entire family has felt the shift. My kids are known, seen, and loved. They are prayed for daily. That's not just a phrase--it's a way of life at Bradshaw. Even now, as an employee of another private Christian school where I could receive a tuition discount, I continue keep my children at Bradshaw. That's how strongly I believe in what they are doing and who they are. Bradshaw Christian is more than a school--it's a family, it's a ministry, and it's a light in this world. The glory of God is present there, and I'm forever grateful for how they've helped shape my children's lives. Thank you, Bradshaw. We love you! read more

One of the best preschools with caring teachers and amazing staffs. Shout out to Ms. Jacky and Ms. Jan for taking care of my son when he was in their class last year. I highly recommend their preschool program to any parent who is looking for a reliable and safe learning environment. read more

I prayed about writing this review for a few months, debating whether it was the right thing to do, but I believe it is. Bradshaw Christian School is strictly for-profit, with very little love poured into their decision making process. Although they do teach the gospel, they fail to teach through walking by example. Kids that are not cookie cutter are not accepted to this school, including those with medical disabilities that do not impair them cognitively. This includes Type 1 Diabetes. I hoped my kids would be accepted to this school, but only one was. The one who has diabetes was not. It was really unfortunate, because when asked why they wanted to go to this school they both stated it was to learn about God, and have loving teachers. My kids are smart, have a strong foundation at home, and we were prepared to pay the high tuition fees for both kids. Bradshaw Christian deemed my 8 year old a liability, and had the audacity to invite my youngest to attend alone. I do feel there was some discrimination that took place, and I do feel their ties to the church should be heavily scrutinized because their actions did not line up with the Bible's teachings. Would I recommend this school? No I wouldn't. Large sized classrooms consisting of 26 kids and one teacher, a playground with no shade, and a secretary with a rude mouth. The first time I called asking for an application she lied telling me there were no openings. Magically in speaking to the vice principal there were. I would take your money and children elsewhere, so they can learn to immerse themselves with all of God's children, not just the ones without medical disabilities. read more

Hate to do this - but I wouldn't recommend this school. My kids went to the preschool and had a good experience with a few teachers (which is the only reason I'm giving 2 stars), but we left them after discovering my 4 year old son was being bullied by his own teacher in our second school year there. The Preschool Director and Assistant Director didn't care why and still charged us "due to the policy" when we withdrew. They give preferential treatment to the staff's kids, force families to fundraise and volunteer (or you can opt out by paying out-of-pocket). Like WTH? We're already paying a BUNCH for tuition, lunch is NOT provided (unless you pay like $5 for each meal), and we are responsible for paying for most of the school supplies. Shame on you Bradshaw "Christian" Preschool. As a Christian myself, this was hard to write -- but this is the unfortunate experience we had. I hope someday you will all be better. read more

It was a terrible idea to have enrolled my son here. After paying tuition and extra fees, they handed a paper of supply list that said, "mandatory" and it included permanent marker packs, tissue box, treasury items..... and the list goes on. On orientation day, this teacher told us we had to take this envelope that said, "important information" and upon opening it, it was a coupon book!!!! Wtf! So I told them that I just bought one and didn't need it, & the teacher shoved it in my arms and told me to take it and think about buying another one. So I took it home. The first two weeks, this is what I've witnessed. Crowded room filled with kids. Even though they say the ratio is 12 kids per teacher and two assistants but there was never more than 2 adults in the room. The room was not big enough for these kids. There is constantly toys all over the floor and nobody is teaching the kids on how to clean up or wash up. My husband recorded my son playing with play doh and a kid behind him strait up took my snacks out of my son's lunch bag and no teachers were around to monitor. They are suppose to have a strict no sharing policy. You could say, it's the survival of the fittest. But we pay a lot of money for our kids to be taken care of and to learn. I witnessed a teacher with a book in her hand and a CD was playing for the kids and the teacher was just flipping through the pages. I witnessed no hand washing When the kids came from outside play to inside. They made my son wear his hat and shoes for naps. I hated this school for my two year old who couldn't speak for himself. My kid was not learning anything other than fighting to survive until I returned for him. I took him out and we are at Arista preschool now which is a totally different atmosphere and we love it. Don't waste your money and time here with your kids. I've heard great things about this school in grade school + however, the preschool program is unprofessional and unsafe environment. I would NOT recommend. Your kids are better off elsewhere that they can learn basic skills and positive interactions and reinforcement. read more

Worst school ever to have your child attend. I should have listen to my parents.

I don't recommend BCS to anyone! We've been here since preschool and been here for several years and we're ready to explore our options. We attended this school because we thought private school would be a a lot less kids in class and more one-on-one with the teacher. We really thought they would have a no bully policy but it's the exact opposite. They do nothing to address the issues. Several teachers have not been in communication with us when my son needs help, is missing projects, etc. You would think a teacher would be concerned and reach out to the parents. Sports is a joke. If you're not part of the BCS family, rubbing noses with all the coaches and faculty then you're not going to succeed in sports. Please look into this school carefully before you sign your kids up. It's really not the experience we thought a private school would be, it's worse than public school read more

Do not waste your time or money. When we toured the school we thought we found a good match, but we were wrong. We enrolled our 2 1/2 year old son in Jan 2020. The first red flag was that they placed him in a different class than what they said during the tour. He was placed with the younger two year old even though he was closer to three. I regret not saying anything, but we were new and didn't want to be "that parent". When I would pick up my son, the teacher always seemed "stressed" and just wanted you to leave. Also, you would think that in this day and age it would be easy to make a tuition payment, but it's not. They will sometimes send you an email but not all the time. Every day you get a slip that gives you info about how long of a nap your child took, how many times they used the potty/how many diapers and how much food they ate. I started noticing that my son's slip would say that he wasn't hungry and ate very little food, but his lunch box was empty. Another red flag. We inquired about this and it's understandable if the food fell on the ground, you wouldn't save it or if it's perishable. Well, after we inquired the teacher put his yogurt pouch back in his lunch box without the cap!! It was a huge mess and I kind of felt like the teacher was sending a subliminal message back to us! Don't let the fact that this is a "Christian" school fool you. When COVID hit the school closed for a little while, but opened back up because obviously some parents don't have a work from home option. We didn't feel comfortable sending our son back and fortunately my husband and I were both working from home. When we let the office know that he wasn't coming back they told us they couldn't guarantee his spot and he'd be dis-enrolled, but his spot in Aug was saved, because we had already registered and paid the enrollment fee for the 2020/2021 school year. In May they sent an email saying that they were going to have a drive-through parade for teacher appreciation day and in the other parking lot they were going to place all of our children's belongings and you could come pick it up. Well, we weren't able to make it and they threw away our belongings Which included a change of clothes a brand new tube of diaper cream, pull-ups and diapers!! At least they could've saved the stuff to donate it somewhere rather than throwing it away!! Needless to say we dis-enrolled our son and he will no longer be attending. Unfortunately, we lost our lost money on the registration fee for the upcoming school year, but at least we no longer have to deal with this school any longer. read more

Can't believe they let people who graduated go to the dances with minors. Hope nothing happens

My son attended Bradshaw for two years and it was a terrible experience. The turn over for teachers was astounding. He had 4 different teachers in less than two years. The Preschool director was terrible to work with and did not hire qualified staff. I would not recommend this school to anyone...especially those with young boys. I was told my 3 year old son was special needs because he couldn't sit still. Had him accessed by the way at the schools request...not only did he not qualify but the county assessor told me the school had a history of this behavior and that his teacher was ridiculous. Save your money! read more

I'm a Father of two girls at this school. For one, our 2 year old, this is her first school or childcare experience. Our other Daughter is in one of the Kindergarden classes at this school. This is our first year at this school and it is only 2 months into the 2011 school year. I first want to disclaim that I have no ties or affiliations with this school and this review is real and uninfluenced (because I have read other school reviews that I was highly suspicious of both positive and negative). I'm very happy with the school class sizes. Our 2 year old daycare has as many as 3 teachers for less than 20 children. Kindergarden is less then 20 kids for the teacher. Maybe it's the uniforms but the kids just look better also. Theres no troubled looking kids (scraggily dressed, messy hair, unhappy etc). All kids have a smile and get along etc. My kids come home happy also. Flexibility is awesome, I can drop off my kids as early as 6:30 am and pick up as late as 6 pm. Fortunately we don't have to leave our kids 11.5 hours but it's a nice option and the cost is the same. Value is evident; daycare is cheaper here than most other locations we checked and potty training is included. For this review I now have more space to address other websites poor reviews. I noticed another review stating this school was intolerant and even went as far to say they were racist. I was shocked to read this in my research of this school. Now that the school year has begun I can say with first had experience that this school is extremely kind, tolerant and wonderful.. I was was also pleasantly surprised to see the diversity of culture at this school. I had a preconceived idea of the breakdown simply based on this being a private school, and was thankful to find a great mix. If you have any questions about this school just do what I did back in the Summer when I was checking a few of them in my area out. Make an appointment and visit the school. I was able to meet in person with the principal as well as the head school secretary (who walked me through everything and answered tons of questions by my Wife and me.). read more

We have been at Bradshaw Christian for 12 years. I love the community feel that is offered and the love that the teachers show to my kids. The teachers are very involved and my kids are known personally and given individual attention when needed. I have two very different personalities of girls. They both have thrived here at Bradshaw. Both have been given the attention and tools needed to succeed. We have felt very blessed with having our children here. We have made life long friends. My oldest graduated 2 years ago and I felt she was very ready for college. Not only have my children been prepared for college but for life as well. They have learned what is needed and been guided to advance out into adult life. We highly recommend Bradshaw Christian! read more

See all

Amazing school. My son recently graduated from college and I am reflecting from the wonderful education that Bradshaw provided. He was accepted to UCLA and many other schools. He graduated college with honors and it was all because of the foundation that Bradshaw provided. Can't ask for a better education for our children. High percentage of graduates go on to college and receive advanced degrees. Thank you BCS! We love you! read more

My son has been attending preschool here since September, and we couldn't be happier. I can only hope that I can keep him in the school all the way through to high school.

My child entered the school in 9th grade, as we were looking for an alternative to the gigantic schools in the surrounding areas, where he was lost as an IEP student. Just as expected, the smaller environment and direct communication about his needs, rather than pushing him along despite his unique learning issues, has done wonders for him academically and in terms of his self-esteem. The administration and faculty care about each student, and we feel it. He finally says he loves his school, which is all a parent needs to hear. read more

I used to love Bradshaw Christian and still love the teachers but can not stand the preschool director. My kids father and I share custody and she just could not get that under control (not that it was her business). I get she was trying to follow the court order but if her dad and I both agree that one of us can pick her up on a day that isn't ours, that should be our business. Long story short police were called, I was forced to stay in her office for 2 hours with my kids until their dad and the police arrived just to tell her that if it's mutually agreed, it's fine. She got so stressed out she ended up telling us our innocent, NEVER BEEN IN TROUBLE ONCE child was not allowed back on campus. My daughter is crushed. My opinion of that school has gone so far down the toilet I will never recommend it to anyone. read more

Best school in the area! Our daughter recently graduated and had started there in Kindergarten. Our son currently attends MS. The school is a Christian school. So, it does teach the Bible and the kids do pray-I wouldn't say it's overtly "religious". (They don't try to get you to confess your sins and never have alter calls!) Neither are they ever political. The kids learn compassion and definitely right & wrong from biblical standpoint. Not to say others haven't, but personally we've never had problems with bullying of either one of our kids. The athletics is also great and the school has invested greatly in the athletic department in recent years. As far as costs, it has one of the lowest tuition rates of comparatively sized private schools in the area! Having our kids grow up in a private has been one of our greatest investments. read more

Our kids just started at Bradshaw Christian school about 6 months ago and they love it. One is in middle school and the other is in elementary. Both have terrific, caring teachers and both have made many sweet friends. The other kids at the school are kind and welcoming. Both of my kids especially love their time in Chapel and say they feel inspired by it each week. I have read the other reviews and would say that every school has its challenges and every person's preferences and experiences are a bit different. However, I believe that the staff and parents at Bradshaw form a committed, caring community that wants the absolute best for the students. We are thankful to be a part of it and look forward to our kids getting more connected and growing through the years at Bradshaw. read more

It's been another great year so far! We are so thankful for BCS!

My daughter has been a student here for 2 years, mostly it's been pleasant. Last week I was called to visit the Principal and "Dean" of the middle school and elementary school (they're married so there was no bias). When I arrive I was treated like a felon who'd committed a terrible crime. Apparently, I was jumping 6 foot chain link fences (with my slipped disc in my back I wish I could), I was threatening innocent bystanders, teachers and possibly wildlife. During my blackout rampage, according to Solomon and his wife (wise people), I was on this rampage in order to find my daughter. To try and sum this up, I'll give a brief history. It was a non-school day, yet kids were present being the day before Thanksgiving. Like everyday I went to the classroom to pick up my child, who wasn't there. I immediately call my wife and am told my daughter isn't at school. I leave while on the phone and discuss a car accident I'd been in earlier where I was rear ended (I may have used a few choice words, luckily no kids were in the parking lot as I hop into my dented truck). Then I get a call demanding a meeting. I go to the meeting and am bombarded with accusations that I ran to the gym (not sure where it is), demanded to see a sign in sheet (not used for Kindergarteners) and that if I can't remember my actions I must be suffering blackouts. They were essentially accusing me of being D.I.D or schizophrenic. I realize that this "conversation is pointless and say, "I guess I'll just go pick up my daughter for the last time." At this point, despite my calm demeanor I was banned from school grounds. The "Dean" says ok until his wife says, "No! He may be a danger to his child and appears to be intoxicated." I ask if I smell of alcohol or appear disoriented; neither one agrees but hold to their decision regardless. Long, long story short 8 cop cars pull up, give me a sobriety check and let me go. I would never do drugs and I don't drink and drive, ever. Now I have friends and acquaintances asking if I have been arrested. I'm an more than upset. My child will be pulled from that "school" immediately; hell, anyone that calls them self a dean at a elementary school is a little too much for me anyway. I have two Master's and my wife is a doctor, I've been around provosts and deans that deserve the title, but this school is ridiculous. They essentially kidnapped my daughter to show who's in charge (and yes withholding a minor from a non threatening guardian for even a few minutes can be kidnapping. Now my 5 year old has to go to a new school (thank God) but it's still traumatic. Someone should stop these tyrannical, power tripping morons in charge of BCS (especially since they look not a day over 25). Who knows, maybe I'll bring action for defamation, slander and whatever else I can think of. To be fair my second masters is a Juris Doctorate. If you read this thank you, and don't send your kids to this school. read more

I definitely do not recommend this school at all. The school has a huge problem with bullying, and the the staff and teachers do nothing to help keep the kids safe.

Have had a great experience! By twin boys have been going there since they were 2 and they will be 5 soon. The teachers are all awesome. You can see that the kids really love then and develop a good relationship . They school communicates with ths parents very well when it comes to the kids and activities. I life that they know who you are when you walk in the door and everyone greats you with a smile. I will be sending my baby there when she turns 2 and recommend bsc to any parents looking for a reasonably priced preschool that cares about their students. They do have a turn overs in teachers for preschool but this usually happens in between school year. read more

Glad that I removed my child from this school and she is thriving academically at another school. Terrible experience at this school. I know other parents are now removing their children. I regret that I enrolled my child at this school, but glad she is at a place that now recognizes her abilities. I could go on and on with details of my experiences with teachers and staff - and school secretary (!) but I will keep it short and just say I was very unhappy with this school. read more

I can't believe the message this school is sending to the kids . Dose it not say in the bible luke 6:31 do to others as you would have them do to you . I understand none of us are perfect . But if your a Christian you have to be one everyday not just when it's convenient for church. Meaning compassionate, kindness, fairness. God loves all no matter what, even if the color of our skin . On Fridays they have donut day where you can buy them which my child purchased every Friday. One day at church without me knowing during service when the pastor asked if anyone had prayer request to stand up and tell the church so we can pray together. My child is 9 bye the way she stood up and asked for her school to be more obedient to God and do what Jesus has tough us to do give unto others and love one another. She explained in depth there were kids that could barely afford to attend that school so funds were tight. So they could not afford 2 dollars for a donuts . So after the bell would ring for them to line up the staff in front of the hungry kids would throw away boxes of perfectly good donuts rather then give them to the kids ! Just sad it was hard for me to believe this at first the I witnessed it on multiple days when I had time to observe it for myself. At first I was in disbelief thinking they were empty. But I walked over and could see them without touching them that it was almost a full dozen perfectly intact. Two more straight weeks of observing this I finally walk up to one of the staff and asked if they knew they were throwing away donuts . They said yeah we're aware and looked at me if I was dumb . I then asked why not just give to the kids rather then throwing them away ? They said then they wouldn't buy them and we would lose out on the money were making. I couldn't believe the answer they gave me so I took it to the board and principal Asst that is and she blew me off as did the board . Wish I had a chance to talk to the principal but she was not available either times my luck . But from talking to her before she seemed very nice and courteous every I seen her . That was one event and not sure it was ever addressed or not . Then the other was my child was being bullied buy another classmate and was reported to the teacher in which nothing was done then the Asst principal which nothing was done . Found out this girls mom was good friends with the Asst principal. My child was bye far the smallest kid in her class and very shy . I believe that's why she was picked on bye the much larger girl . She would take my child s food and tell her she was ugly and mean words . And she told my child if she told the teacher she would beat her up . My child has been an honor student since kindergarten and has always loved school but here at Bradshaw made her dislike school so much so she would ask if she could stay home or change schools. We moved up from Lajolla and never witnessed this type of bullying. I'm sure it's everywhere but wow it's bad . I staff member and alum from Bradshaw I will not give her name which she asked me not to die to retaliation approached me and told me basically how people get different treatment due to color and where your from . And I could not believe what I was hearing. I have a masters in engineering and come from a well to do family and never witnessed this type of treatment ever. So I went home and prayed about it and removed my daughter and filled a written complaint to the Christian school board above everyone's head at Bradshaw. And they were not happy at all . In fact the would not release my daughters transcripts after multiple calls bye me and the new school she attends . Finally I prayed again and by the will of God they finally sent them . Now they don't want to give us the money they owe me . Simply stating the have to wait for a board meeting to repay me back my money . Also they said it meets once a month so they said you'll have to wait and we'll let you know what we come up with till then wait for us to call you. Unexceptionable bye my standards that's just wrong they are upset due to the fact I filled a complaint on them . Also admin staff first said I had to ask the board if it was ok to remove my child from thief school. I was like wow is this a school or institution? Any way I had to retain a lawyer and know I'm looking to take them to small claims court to get the money they rightfully owe me . Just sad ! But my daughter has been in her new school for three weeks and is enjoying it a lot and the curriculum at Bradshaw was low compared to her new school basically Bradshaw was behind academically sad again. Also when registering my child there were 5 others kids from Bradshaw Christian there to and the parents had similar concerns as to why they left. Also my oldest so attends a local high school franklin in which he has a lot of Bradshaw Christian kids there and they say the same if your skin is dark or brown you get treated differently.

Terrible school. Don't take your kids there. Intolerant of anyone different and don't have the skills to take on anything that is remotely a challenge. read more

I love this school! As former Middle School teachers, we are all too aware of the importance of peer group and community. Bradshaw is just exceptional. Caring teachers, involved families, very nice kids and appropriate Middle School activities. Our son says " I feel like I matter. That I can contribute and make a difference and that people notice what I do." At this age of emerging autonomy, we could not have designed a better environment for him. We are a dual faith family and his Bible teacher has been insightful, respectful and supportive. The classes and curriculum are good and we are especially appreciative of how the school manages standardized testing. Finally, twice I became concerned about another student's well being and twice I emailed Mr. Hage - the Dean of Students. Once was after hours and once he was on vacation. Both times he responded within an hour and immediately took steps to reach out to the students. Having run the gambit of Teacher, public school parent, Homeschooler and private school parent - I highly recommend Bradshaw Middle School. read more

I cannot express how much I love BCS. My first son started preschool back in 1993 when it was just a "one room" school and I've been privileged to watch the school grow. When my second son came along, quite surprisingly I might add, I knew EXACTLY where he'd be going to school. The staff is loving and caring. From the front office to administration to the teachers and the day care staff...everyone shows God's love to the children. Every day. All day. My second child is now in third grade and is challenged every day. I ask him "how was school today?" His answer every time is "Great!!" Can't beat that! I "work" the blacktop each morning from 8-8:30. The word is in quotations because it's not work. It's fun! It's not only an easy way to fulfill my PALS hours but because of my time there I've also built strong friendships with the daycare staff, the children, their parents and all the teachers. If you're considering a private school, look no further. read more
