Music
BACA offers multiple amazing opportunities for our students to express themselves through music! We strive to help our students grow their skills and talents while learning how to honor the Lord through song.
Choir and Stagecraft
Students in 3rd through 6th grade are required to participate in our Choir program, with opportunities to audition for roles in our Christmas and Easter programs. 7th through 12th graders have the choice to continue in Choir or participate in our all-new Stagecraft and Production class, where they learn how to build and design sets, run A/V equipment, and more!
Raised Wings Worship
Students 6th grade and up can audition to participate in our school's worship band! Students will be able to hone their musical talent while learning how to work as a team, and, most importantly, give glory to God through music and praise. Raised Wings is led by Shaun Panek and Cody Housler, and practices from 3:45 - 4:45 pm on Fridays.
Private Music Lessons
Our amazing music teacher, Alice Stewart, offers private music lessons in a number of instruments to BACA families. Piano lessons are offered for 1st grade and up, and other instruments are offered for 4th grade and up. Lessons are scheduled before or after school based on availability.

BACA offers a variety of clubs for our students! To sign up, please contact the school office at 814-368-6800 to obtain a permission slip.
Art Club
Students of all ages are invited to come explore their creativity through fun, collaborative projects! Students learn fundamental art skills and techniques while socializing and having fun. Art Club meets every other Monday afternoon, and is led by our Kindergarten teacher Mrs. Henry.
Heal the Earth Club
Students in 4th grade and up can join HTE Club's mission to heal the Earth through faith and action led by God’s word. The club's goal is to promote good stewardship of the Earth and God’s provisions, promote the sanctity of life made in God’s image, and to promote the building of community and loving thy neighbor.
Yearbook Club
Students in grades 5th and up can join the Yearbook Club, and get to work together to create the school's yearbook!
