In keeping with this philosophy, we wish to be a very hands-off church "cover" school and allow the parent to lead and guide their children in the direction and at the pace they feel is best suited to their children.

Dear Homeschool Families: 

 

I hope you are having a wonderful new year!

BSC’s Opera Workshop will be available to come to your home virtually (live streamed) to perform for your students on Wednesday, January 27that 10:30 am.  The presentation will be just under an hour in length, and we would love the opportunity to have a talk-back/Q&A session following our performance.
