Chrysalis

95% of Middle School students are involved in small groups called Chrysalis.  Each group, which meets on Wednesday nights, is led by 2 or 3 seniors.  Pictured below are 3 of Andrew's good friends and the 2 seniors who devoted themselves to mentor these 7th graders through this year.  Ben and Josh, the leaders, went above and beyond the Wednesday night meetings by hosting sleepovers at their dorm, meeting for lunch and taking them camping.  They have made a profound impact on their emotional and spiritual growth.

It was my privilege to be able to be able to share with you the Top Scholar Awards. As a new member of the faculty here at BFA, I have been impressed by the academic tradition here. This tradition is founded on leadership through the comprehensive program that is offered, the teachers through the subject mater they challenge these young people with and the students who enroll in this course of study with the desire to honor God through their efforts and growth.
