We at Black Forest Academy have a distinctly Christian philosophy of education, which strives to develop students intellectually, spiritually and socially. The program emphasizes a Christian worldview in which values, beliefs and attitudes are rooted in biblical teaching. Such an educational program develops a biblical perspective on life so students can fulfill God’s purpose for their lives personally and vocationally.
[BFA] has a clear Christian philosophy which is reflected in day-to-day attitudes and practice.
The 1999 Visiting Committee for Accreditation commended BFA in it’s written report.
