Belle Chasse Academy

We recently moved to Louisiana and had great fears of what type of education our children would receive. We found that Belle Chasse Academy academic standards and extracurricular activities surpass those of other schools my kids have attended in VA. The staff is open to parent's concerns and if a problem arises they act on it.

I love BCA my son has done nothing but excel from 1st-2nd grade, unfortunately we are being relocated to another state, but If I could I would love to stay in Louisiana just because of the school. I love that they wear uniforms, and that homework is assigned every night. I would recommend this school to any parent.

I have two girls, and we have Been at BCA from K-3rd. I Love this school. The administration is wonderful, they reach out, very receptive, and they encourage parent involvment, the communication is great. Any concern or issue has been addressed quickly and resolved up to my satisfaction. No school is perfect, but if you have concerns, they are resolved quickly, the faculty really cares about the kids. It's a very warm, loving environment with rigourous academics. Definetly fair share of homework. But the quality of education is excellant. Your student will cross over to another state or school without missing a beat. I have really enjoyed our time here and would happily recommmend it.

Nice environment, entheuatic teachers, good amount of homework and parent's involvement. Even kindergarteners learn Spanish by a bilingual teacher.

My child has attended BCA since the doors opened. He is now in the 8th grade and about to graduate. BCA's educational program is no better than any of the other public schools in and around Belle Chasse. The only benifit to BCA is the security and smaller class sizes.

Excellent School. My children attended BCA for 4 years before I became a faculty member, and we have always loved all that BCA has had to offer, GREAT asset to the base! It's a private school feel in a charter school setting.

My daughter attended Pre-k here and now she is in Kindergarten. I absolutely love this school. Having the security of base. The education of the teachers, friendly staff and the amazing education. there are no other schools to compare to unless you are talking a 4000 dollar private school. My daughter loves the school and teachers. She is always asking on weekends can I go to school today? They are strict which being in todays world I feel that is what our children need. To be held accountable for their actions. If there is ever a problem I feel I have one on one attention. What other school can you have coffee with the principal on a regular bases. The student ratio is actually low so I feel they get more attention. All in all if you are looking for a great school look here first!!!

I've read some pos & neg posts on here and all have some merrit. My kids did great for two years in this school and still ask to go back. Some parents complain about the leap, but then forget that they just transfered in and the teachers aren't miracle workers. If your child is behind already when they get there they can't fix every child. My experience is that the children who don't pass are the parents who do the most complaining. As for the Math yes they be a little behind. When my child finished 3rd grade they hadn't done times table and so now in 4th grade at a new school he did struggle a little. But over all this is a awsome school for that area....especially now.

I recently moved to Louisiana and had great fears of what type of education my children would receive. I have found Belle Chasse Academy SUPERIOR to other schools my children attended in Texas. The administration is always open to parent's thoughts and ideas and actually acts upon them. The office staff is always helpful, and the teachers are the best. Any military member interested in enrolling thier children somewhere else should definilty make BCA their school of choice.
