About BACH Classes

Our Purpose

The primary purpose of BACH Classes is to provide additional educational options for parents as they seek the Lord’s guidance in their children’s education. BACH also allows members of the Body of Christ to share their gifts and talents with others.
BACH is not intended to replace parental involvement or undermine parental authority. An added blessing is the opportunity for Christian fellowship and encouragement.

Our Schedule

  • Classes meet on Mondays and/or Thursdays
  • Students complete assignments at home under parental supervision
  • The BACH calendar is posted on the website

Our Teachers

We are grateful for our teachers and their dedication.
All BACH teachers are self-employed, independent contractors.

Our Fees

  • Annual BACH Membership Fee: $70 per family, billed each year during the month you originally joined BACH.
  • Annual Family Class Registration Fee: $40 (non-refundable, due by September 1 for families taking classes)
  • Individual class fees range from $0–$80 per month
  • Teachers set their own fees; exact costs are listed in class descriptions
  • Payments are made directly to teachers
  • Late payments may incur late fees
  • Registering for classes is a commitment to the entire school year (September–May)

Our Guidelines

  • BACH is not a traditional school setting
  • Parents are fully responsible for their children at all times, even when not on campus
  • Students will not be able to get all of the credits needed for high school graduation through BACH. Parents will need to supplement with additional courses at home, online, or elsewhere.
