A New Standard of Excellence in Christ-Centered Education for the Conejo Valley
You Can Play a Vital Role as a Founding Family for a School Built on Faith, Excellence & Community
You know the very unique culture of Bethany Christian School planted by Helen Gateka has enriched our community for over 50 years... it doesn't have to come to an end!
At Bulldog Christian School, we’re building more than a campus—we’re building a Christ-centered community of families who believe that a strong academic foundation must be rooted in faith, character, and purpose.
We invite you to be part of this exciting beginning.
BCS is being launched with the full heart and vision to serve elementary and middle school students starting in Fall 2026, following the anticipated closure of Bethany Christian School. Our founding families share a vision: to raise the next generation to stand firm in faith, lead with courage, and thrive in both academics and life.
At Bulldog Christian School, located in Thousand Oaks, we are dedicated to providing a nurturing environment that fosters academic excellence grounded in Christian values. We believe that education should not only focus on intellectual growth but also on spiritual and emotional development. Our small class sizes ensure personalized attention, allowing each child to thrive within our supportive community. Together, we aim to equip the next generation with the skills and character to lead with faith and integrity.
As a parent, I’ve always sought an educational environment where my children can thrive academically while being nurtured spiritually. Bulldog Christian School embodies this ideal with its strong commitment to faith-based learning. The curriculum is rigorous, yet every teacher seems genuinely invested in the students’ growth—not just academically but also in character development. Knowing that my children will be surrounded by like-minded families who prioritize faith and community gives me immense peace. I look forward to seeing how BCS shapes their future.
Our family has been searching for a school that aligns with our Christian values, and we are thrilled to have found Bulldog Christian School. The vision for this school is inspiring, focusing on developing not just students' minds but their hearts as well. We appreciate the small class sizes, which foster meaningful relationships between teachers and students. It’s clear that BCS is dedicated to building a strong community where our children can learn and grow in faith. We truly believe this is the right place for our kids.
Bulldog Christian School is not just another educational institution; it’s a community that genuinely cares about each child. From the moment we attended the Information Night, we felt welcomed and inspired by the vision shared by the founding team. The focus on Christ-centered education resonates with us, and we are excited about the small class sizes that promise personalized attention for our children. It’s heartwarming to see a school that prioritizes both academic rigor and spiritual development. We can’t wait to be part of this journey!
