At BTA, each student is known. There is a strong sense of family, with close relationships between students and teachers. Cross-grade level opportunities allow for teaching, tutoring, and mentoring.
For these reasons, and many others, BTA is living its mission: to provide a nurturing environment that enables our students to reflect, collaborate, and develop their talents and abilities, as they strive to become strong Catholic leaders in the 21st century.
A recent study in the American Educational Research Journal confirms why a PreK-8 school is beneficial. Students who attend a PreK-8 school are more comfortable, feel safer, and ultimately perform better academically than their counterparts at traditional middle schools.
