Our faculty delivers a nurturing yet rigorous approach to education, providing individual attention to each student in a safe learning environment. Students create lifelong friendships and enter college ahead of their peers. BGA fosters a sense of community and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Financial aid is available.

Known for creating an elevated educational experience, we believe in the enormous potential within every child, and we know that full potential is not achieved by merely acquiring academic skills and facts. It is achieved within a community where the needs of each individual are recognized, supported, and encouraged, where students have a voice in what and how they learn, and where teachable moments extend far beyond the walls of our classrooms. Ninety-eight percent of our Class of 2023 were accepted to at least one of their top three college choices, and the class earned more than $8.5 million in merit-based scholarships.
In Fall 2024, we will launch our Early Learning Center, opening our doors to pre-K4 and pre-K5 students.
- For priority, first-round consideration, apply for Fall 2024 by the following dates:
- December 15: Pre-K and Kindergarten
- January 5: First Grade and Up
