Bethel Christian School

We are pleased to be able to individually guide each student through the Jr. High and High School years and the transition into college. We offer assistance in college selection and application, career and major selection, and financial aid searches. Students and parents are encouraged to make an appointment with the Guidance Office at the end of the school year or during the summer. Early and continued planning for the four-years of high school will help prepare the student for a successful entry into the college of his or her choice.

Concurrent College Enrollment

We are conveniently located across the street from Antelope Valley College which provides students with a great opportunity to enroll in college classes during high school. Students in good standing who are interested in concurrent enrollment in college classes must receive administrative approval. A course may be taken at the college level if it is not offered at BCS or is required to make up credit to meet graduation requirements. These courses may be given full college and high school credit. Students should meet with the Guidance Counselor to discuss course options.

Transcripts

Current and former students and alumni may request a transcript of high school credit completed at BCS. Transcript requests must be in writing and signed by the student or by the parent if the student is under 18. There will be a $3 fee for each transcript requested. However, BCS graduates may request one transcript to be sent free of charge. Transcript request forms are available in the school office and downloadable on the website.

Bethel Christian High School offers two types of diplomas designed to prepare students for whatever they desire to pursue after high school. The College Prep diploma meets or exceeds all requirements of the University of California system and most prestigious universities. The Standard Diploma meets or exceeds all requirements of the State of California and enables students be enrolled in a wide variety of colleges, universities, the military, and other institutions which require a high school diploma. Diplomas and credits issued by BCHS are from an accredited institution and all academic courses are U.C. approved. Our goal is to help students develop a biblical world view through a good foundation in a broad range of subject areas.
