The idea behind Brookside Christian Academy came from two local educators: Betsy Dean and Cortney Gordon. Dean and Gordon worked in public education for years and have a love for watching learning come to life in the eyes of their students. Their goal was to take the best elements from public, private, and home schools and combine them to create a unique setting where students thrive and find joy in learning. BCA has become a peaceful refuge in the lives of students, families, and staff.
