Barner Christian Academy of Davao City’s (BCA) primary goal
is character development through the knowledge of Jesus Christ as revealed
in the Bible. Stress is placed upon developing the God-given talents
and abilities of the child through a program which is committed to maximizing
the full potential of each precious child. BCA seeks to provide each
child with a Christian education (Proverbs 3:5,6), development of his
or her unique skills, and achievement of personal academic excellence.
Since the primary reason for the existence of the school is spiritual
in nature, BCA lays a firm foundation for a child to accept Jesus
Christ as his personal Lord and Savior. (Mark 10:14,15). The child
will acquire basic spiritual truths, a spiritually receptive attitude,
and an early motivation to make this important decision as he is prompted
by the Holy Spirit.
BCA views each child as a special person, a special gift from God
(Psalm 127:3). Since we believe in the child, we aim to bring out
the fullest potential in him. We have a holistic and Biblical view
of the child in developmental perspectives. We provide the conditions
and atmosphere wherein the child will grow in wisdom and stature,
and in favor with both God and Man (Luke 2:52).
BCA provides the physical environment wherein the child can explore
his body’s physical abilities, the way his body fits into space, and
the full kinesthetic potential of this body.
BCA provides the atmosphere wherein the child can:
- Risk himself into varied learning experiences, and
- Experience processes that build concepts and the interrelatedness
of things, and
- Feel truly successful and happy with himself in his conquest for
knowledge, confident of God’s love and acceptance.
BCA provides the conditions wherein the child can:
- Fully relate to other children, and
- Intensify his confidence that the world is God’s creation in which
he can fully function and have positive experiences.
BCA provides an integrated curriculum which fosters active interaction
with the environment through varied and rich experiences and materials.
