Guiding Principles of the 2023-2024 Capital Campaign

The Borculo Christian School board has made an important decision that will impact the future of our community. They have begun a strategic journey and have carefully chosen the guiding principles to pave the way for this capital campaign. This step taken by the board will provide a roadmap for the school’s future.

We are fully committed to providing quality Biblical education and dedicated to the growth and development of our students. 

We are thrilled to embark on this endeavor, and we extend an invitation to you to join us in our shared vision. Our desire is to provide our students with a quality, Christ-centered education that enables them to develop their abilities to serve Christ and the community.

Facilities Master Plan

• Maintain one campus
• Maintain one building
• The facility fits on the current site or lots adjacent to the north.
• The master layout works to accommodate incremental additions as needs arise.
• Proper parking to accommodate future site layout
• Proper traffic flow to accommodate future site layout
• Proper outdoor space allocation for athletic fields and playground space
• Total space breakdown to accommodate two classes per grade and early childhood.
• Consideration of child care space to support BCS community

Phase 1

In Phase 1, we will resize the building to match our current needs. This strategic decision to resize our school building is crucial to ensure that our educational environment is optimized for our present needs and that future developments are not hindered.

By carefully evaluating and adjusting the physical infrastructure to align with the demands of our student population, we are fostering an environment for learning and growth. This allows us to not only accommodate the unique needs of our students but also to enhance the educational support services that are vital to our student’s success.

Centralizing our administrative offices serves as the cornerstone of our forward-looking vision. This streamlined approach not only maximizes operational efficiency but also positions us favorably for future development and expansion. It lays the groundwork for efficient use of our administrative offices, enabling us to allocate resources where they are most needed.

We recognize that right-sizing our school building, optimizing educational support services, and centralizing our offices are not just strategic choices; they are essential to the realization of our educational mission and our commitment to providing a quality Christ-centered education for current and future generations of students.

The school board is committed to creating a comprehensive plan that sustains the institution and helps staff achieve the school’s mission.

In recognizing the need for potential future additions, we are committed to ensuring that our facilities evolve with the changing needs of our students and the educational landscape.

These new spaces will foster innovation, enable expanded opportunities for learning, and accommodate the diverse needs of our growing student body.
