Your Donation Makes A Difference
The BCS Fund is a tax-deductible opportunity for each and every Bethany family to participate in making a difference for our school. Annual gifts to the BCS Fund help provide critical resources for the school to ensure the execution of BCS’ vision and mission. Tuition and fees are but one component of the full cost of attendance, which includes indirect costs such as salaries, books, supplies, maintenance and other facility expenses. In fact, tuition and fees only cover approximately 80 percent of the total cost of a private school’s overhead. Annual Fund’s are the lifeblood of any school’s development plan. And, no matter the amount, any donation makes a difference.
The Preliminary Goals of the BCS Fund will Enhance These Critical Areas:
Campus Improvements: Capital Improvement Fund
Academic Enhancements: Technology and Curriculum Upgrades
Safety & Security: Automatic security gates for 8th Street courtyard & Security Guards
Teacher Retention: “Bless the Teachers” Money Market Fund
Campus improvements
Plans are always in the works to improve our 80+ year old campus! As we are blessed with continuous enrollment, the need to expand our teaching spaces is a top priority. Since Bethany is limited by its footprint within the Rio Vista Community, we have to become creative when it comes to finding additional space, and upgrading and improving our current spaces.
Academic Enhancements
Bethany strives to continually identify specific needs to improve student learning, analyze our infrastructure to adopt technology-enabled solutions, and to maintain our capacity to integrate technology in the instructional process to raise the average level of achievement, remediate gaps among low performers, and challenge high performers to develop higher-order skills through technology and curriculum upgrades.
Safety & Security Upgrades
With the addition of current Campus Security Officers, Security Cameras, Electronic Background Check Sign In/Out Systems, Bulletproof Doors, and Campus-wide Intercom System, BCS will continue upgrading the security of our campus with an electronic gate at the 8th St. Courtyard area and by maintaining our Security Officer staff. Just one look at a security gate and roaming officers lets people know the institution takes the security of its staff and students seriously.
