Bridgeport
Catholic Academy
Providing the Best in Catholic Education in
Chicago's Bridgeport Community |
For
twenty-five years Bridgeport Catholic Academy
has provided the very best in Catholic primary
education.
BCA offers instruction in the pre-K 3 thru 8th
grade levels in Chicago's Bridgeport community.
Classes are held at the Nativity of Our Lord
school building.
Bridgeport Catholic Academy was established
in 1985 by several parishes in the Bridgeport
community of Chicago.
Through a consolidation of educational resources
the participating parishes were able to offer a
significantly improved primary education
program. All Saints/St Anthony, St Bridget, St
David, St George, Immaculate Conception, St John
Nepomecene, St. Mary of Perpetual Help, and
Nativity of our Lord parishes all figure
prominently in BCA's ancestry.
BCA's academic standards are impressive.
BCA graduates are well prepared to continue
their education. Most graduates attend Catholic
high schools and go on to attend college. Last
year, every graduating 8th grader tested into,
and was admitted to the high school of his or
her choice.
The Philosophy of Bridgeport Catholic Academy
We, at Bridgeport
Catholic Academy, believe that the purpose of
education is to create a Christian community
living the values of the Gospel in which the
children and teachers are stimulated to learn,
think, share, and develop individual skills. Our
goal is that we become useful, productive, and
active members of an ever-changing society.
We believe that the role of the parent/guardian
is to be the primary teacher of Christian
values, working with the teacher actively
supporting and encouraging their children in the
learning process. At Bridgeport Catholic
Academy, We believe the parents are an integral
part of their child's educational development.
We believe in fostering the teachings, values
and traditions of the Catholic faith and in
living that faith. We believe that opportunities
for a variety of religious experiences are
necessary to nurture one's personal commitment
to God, neighbor and self, and to develop
responsibilities to the Church and community.
We believe that the role of the teacher is to
encourage, guide and instruct the students in
mastering the goals and objectives of the school
curriculum using a variety of teaching
strategies and resources.
We believe the students are responsible for
making choices and being actively involved in
the learning process to the best of their
ability. We believe that each student of
Bridgeport Catholic Academy is an individual
whose his/her physical and intellectual levels
of development. At Bridgeport Catholic Academy,
students learn best by actively participating in
activities through independent learning,
collaborative partnerships, and cooperative
learning.
We believe that Bridgeport Catholic Academy's
curriculum is a unified and flexible guide of
concepts, skills, values and activities which
assist the children to successfully reach their
potential in that particular grade level.
We believe that the role of Bridgeport Catholic
Academy is to provide the children with a
nurturing atmosphere, academic support, and
stimulating opportunities which assist them in
their lifelong commitment to education.
