EXCELLENCE
WORKS
BCSC is an award-winning
corporation that facilitates au-
thentic learning. We have been
endowed with distinguished
awards for progressive courses,
student satisfaction, and ser-
vices to the community. Spe-
cialized instructors, award win-
ning staff , and close community
relations are key backbone in-
frastructures that ensure excel-
lence. Such accolades are testa-
ments to the high standard of
teaching and innovation one
can expect at BCSC. Addition-
ally, the authentic daily experi-
ences that transform students
and families continue to drive
the depth of the program. We
off er a multitude of extracur-
riculars including band, sports,
academic teams, and orches-
tra. From fourth grade on we
off er math and spell bowl at all
schools. Band and sports start in
middle school and go through
high school. Columbus overall
has a total of 38 state champi-
onships and a couple mid state
fi nalists for the marching bands.

Project Based LearningProject Based Learning is a sub-
stantial part of our unique culture.
We launched Columbus Signature
Academy, the fi rst K-12 PBL pro-
gram in the Midwest. CSA invites
students to solve real world prob-
lems in a technology rich environ-
ment. Our students develop 21st
Century skills while learning rig-
orous content and engaging with
community partners.
Universal Design for LearningUniversal Design for Learning is
the framework we employ to de-
sign and facilitate learning envi-
ronments. UDL provides a struc-
ture for educators to evaluate
potential barriers to learning,
gives accessible options for stu-
dents, and values variability, so we
can provide a culturally respon-
sive environment that celebrates
diversity.
Positive Behavior Intervention SupportPBIS is a student behavior system
with a profound focus on expec-
tations. The proactive vs. reactive
data driven system is implement-
ed in each school across BCSC to
create an environment in which
positive behavior “ works better”
than problem behavior. We pri-
oritize prevention versus punish-
ment sets it above other behavior
management systems.

Student input is what mat-ters to us the most. Wheth-er your child’s dream is to attend college or enter di-rectly into the workforce, rest assured that BCSC will join you in preparing him/her so that dream is made a reality. We teach our students to fi nd their voice and take charge of their own destinies. Stu-dents are encouraged to step into leadership roles, participate in the process-es and decisions that af-fect them and to welcome feedback and input from staff , students and com-munity members.
STUDENT
VOICE
WORKS
STUDENT INPUTStudent voice is evident by a new library. For their se-nior project, several students designed the library at CSA New Tech. They transformed the reading oppor-tunity for the students. At BCSC students matter, they have an enormous amount of input and are allowed to shine through their passion and strengths.

BCSC students and teachers are incredibly active in the community. Almost all of the projects that are done in our PBL schools, use communi-ty partners to come in and perfect and give feedback on projects and presentations. Projects that involve going out into Columbus and get-ting involved in what is going on around town and trying to help make Columbus a better city. All high school seniors are required to do a senior project, in a partnership with a community mentor.
