From the Director’s Desk

Dear BAIS Community,

Welcome to the 2017-2018 school year!! We are so thankful that you have chosen BAIS to partner with you in the education of your child(ren). We are excited to focus this year on our theme verse of John 15:5 where Jesus tells us, “I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit. Apart from me, you can do nothing.” We look forward to abiding in God everyday and remembering that as a school, as administration, as support staff, as teachers, and as students, bearing fruit requires an attitude and position of abiding in Him! This theme will be discussed throughout the school year, exploring what that means for students in each grade, from PreK 3 to 12.

As many of you know, all students here at BAIS will be challenged to grow in four specific areas; these areas are known as our Expected Student Outcomes (ESOs). Our ESOs are as follows: Biblical Application, Active Living and Learning, Informed and Innovative Thinking, and Social Responsibility. They intentionally address more than just academics because we firmly believe in the value of students growing beyond mere content knowledge. Our purpose is to prepare students to have thoughtful and productive careers, be loving and caring family members, and of course become well educated and active members of society. Above all we strive to soak all that we teach in the truth of God’s word for none of the other areas of growth are of eternal value otherwise.

So as we begin the journey of the 2017-2018 school year, I ask that each of you pray for your student and their teachers specifically on a daily basis. Our prayer is that the time here for your students is challenging and rewarding. And I pray at the end of the year, the fruit that produced from their efforts is clear.

May the God of Peace richly bless you and your family this school year.

Sincerely,
Karl Nielsen
Director
