Our Mission

Battle Creek Area Catholic Schools, in partnership with parents, community, and the Catholic Church, provide students with an excellent education and a solid faith formation. Students will know the Faith, share the Faith, and live the Faith.

About Our School

For more than 100 years, our Christ-centered classrooms have helped families nurture children who grow into confident, purpose-filled adults. We focus on the whole child— mind, heart, and soul, and partner with families to prepare students not just for college and career, but for life’s challenges and choices. Faith is part of everything we do. Our students don’t just learn about the Catholic faith; they experience it each day through prayer, service, and community. We help children grow in their relationship with Jesus and learn how to live their faith with joy and purpose. Learning at our schools is dynamic and faith-filled. Our teachers use innovative approaches to engage students, and our families and staff work together to support each child’s growth academically, spiritually, and personally. Our students learn to live their faith through service. From helping in our community to caring for God’s creation, they discover the joy of making a difference and continue that commitment long after graduation. Battle Creek Area Catholic Schools (BCACS) serves students in preschool through 12th grade on our two campuses, St. Joseph and St. Philip.
