Choral Concerts

The BCS Choral Program is over 200 students strong with six different ensembles that perform in various concerts, festivals, and adjudications throughout the year including singing at the Los Altos Tree Lighting and the LASD Choral Festival alongside students from Egan, Blach, Covington, and Springer schools. Additionally, middle school choral students put together an entertaining Pops Concert in the spring and all choirs perform the Winter & Spring Concerts held at the First United Methodist Church in Palo Alto.

Hack-a-Thon

BCS grades 6-8 students are tasked with researching and creating an idea that would positively impact our community by leveraging IoT technology. “Innovate Together”, a unique collaboration between Cisco Education and BCS, is aimed at teaching students how to identify a problem, how to complete research to validate it, and how to brainstorm solutions and effectively communicate a solution in a pitch format. This year’s winning student group created a proposal for “The Sellery”, which would distribute fresh salads through vending machines.

Active Learning

From teaching families to engage with math together at our Family Math Nights to showing students what S.T.E.A.M. looks like “in action” at our S.T.E.A.M. Day, BCS provides these unique learning opportunities in an effort to support the life-long love of learning for both parents and students alike.

Spelling Bee

BCS participates in the Scripps National Spelling Bee by hosting a yearly bee for students in grades 3-8. Students elect to participate in a school bee that allows them to advance to regional and national competitions. At the most recent school bee, held in January 2017, BCS saw students participating in an oral bee lasting in excess of 23 rounds. 6th grader Amelia Salamacha was the winner, for the second year in a row, and ended up advancing to the KPIX Bay Area Spelling Bee held in March 2017.
