About BCA

Our History

Burlington Christian Academy (BCA) is located in Burlington, Ontario, Canada.  In 1975 the school began at Park Avenue Church in the Aldershot community of Burlington with 3 teachers and 12 students.  This was the vision of Mary Sift, the wife of Pastor Sift of Park Avenue Church. In 1989, the school moved to Park Bible Church (now Compass Point Bible Church), just east of our current location on the North Service Road.

​

BCA has grown to become Burlington’s leading Christian Elementary school.  In 2000, the school incorporated as a separate entity from Park Bible Church to form Burlington Christian Academy. On September 10, 2001, parents, students, staff, and board members proudly opened a brand new 25,000 square foot education facility on the western edge of Burlington. Over 160 students in in grades JK through 8 are able to partake in one of the most progressive educational programs in Southern Ontario.

​

We are a unique school in our program offerings; there is no school like BCA! Aside from the regular curriculum (we teach according to the Ontario Ministry of Education Curriculum guidelines), we offer special programs including, Advanced Level Programming of Athletics (ALPA), EdVenture, Curtain Call, Lunch Box Theatre, Discovery, and Junior Programming, that add to the quality and excitement of a student’s learning experience.

​

The school is owned and operated by a parent sponsored board of directors and operates as an inter-denominational school. BCA students represent 19 different denominations and 23 churches from the greater Burlington area. BCA follows the Ontario Ministry of Education curriculum and is a member of the Edvance Christian Schools Association.

​

We are thankful for the staff and parents/guardians who have dedicated themselves to Christian education at Burlington Christian Academy. We praise God for His faithfulness and pray that together we will continue to honour God in our education endeavours.

​

Our Campus & Facility

Our facility features a full sized gymnasium, music room, science room, WiFi, and oversized, sunlit classrooms. The school is situated on a beautiful seven acre campus which offers large sport fields and a play centre for the younger grades. A beautiful conservation area surrounds the campus providing access to hiking trails and outdoor study opportunities.
