Bethany Christian Schools
2011-12 Annual Report
Principal’s Report
—Allan Dueck
In 2011-12 innovation enhanced
Bethany’s capacity to equip students
with learning that lasts and faith that
lives.
Academic programming. We significantly increased the number of course offerings for collegebound students—four Advanced Placement courses
and five high school-college dual-credit courses.
The faculty also explored new ways to differentiate instruction to facilitate all students’ learning. At
the beginning of the year, Dr. Solomon Abebe led
teachers in a workshop on “differentiating instruction” and subsequently, during collaborative-group
meetings, teachers worked at implementation.
We also strengthened students’ preparation for using
various computer platforms and software. Teachers,
utilizing their new Macbook Pro laptops, explored
new ways of leveraging technology to facilitate
students’ learning and experimented with techniques
such as the “flipped classroom.”
Innovation also bolstered the mentoring program
and J-Term, two of Bethany’s premiere programs.
During bi-weekly conversations, mentor teacher and
student discussed things that matter: academic progress, spiritual growth, and personal challenges and
joys. J-Term, on the other hand, engaged students in
hands-on, real-life learning.
Opportunities for gifts development. Three
high-profile successes of 2011-12 were the outstanding performance of the boys soccer team, which
advanced to semi-state; blossoming of the speech
and debate team; and the stellar production of the
musical Joseph. The foundation for these successes
is Bethany’s commitment to offer students a holistic
education—emphasizing academic quality while at
the same time inviting students to develop a range
of skills and values.
Faith development. Opportunities for service
and student involvement in chapels were highlights.
By visiting shut-in senior citizens, picking up litter
in parks and along roadsides, and volunteering at
church camps, Bethany students cultivated service

as a valuable Christian discipline. And, by participating in a worship band or sharing in chapel, students
developed both appreciation of worship and skills
for participating in church life.
A Word from the Board Chair
—Jaime Alvarez
From my perspective as board chair,
I share some highlights of 2011-12.
• After two or three challenging
admissions years during the recent
economic recession, I’m pleased to highlight last
year’s enrollment of 255, an increase of 3%.
• A pair of two-year pilot programs began in 201112. A combined 4th-5th grade class, with strong
enrollment of 19 students, added an exciting
dimension to school life. New daily bus service
made it feasible for students from Elkhart and
west to enroll.
• Indiana’s new Choice Scholarship, or voucher program, increased access for low and middle-income
students. In the program’s inaugural year, 28
students received voucher funding—support that
directly lowered tuition costs for families and indirectly benefited Partnership congregations.
• The board completed a major initiative: thorough
revision of the Bylaws and all board policies. This
achievement positioned the board for effectiveness
not only in overseeing fiduciary matters but also in
providing meaningful strategic leadership.
• A task force of alumni, business leaders, educators, and students began charting a long-term
path to sustainability. Their work set the stage
for Bethany to lead in environmental stewardship
and sustainability, to provide up-to-date technology education, and to ensure long-term financial
sustainability.
Bethany’s mission is to integrate faith and academic
excellence “to equip students for Christian discipleship in the church and around the world.” In carrying out this mission in 2011-12, Bethany again
touched many students. I thank employees for
breathing life into the school’s mission, and I thank
you for supporting Christian education at Bethany.

Community
Within a diverse faith-based community, Bethany fosters respectful and compassionate relationships that build
a safe and trusting environment. In fall 2011 cross country team members used Hebrews 12:1 to focus their
thoughts on how others help them through the tough times in a race (or life). Here they don shirts with the
names of people who inspire them.

Bethany nurtures the academic, artistic, physical, social, and
spiritual gifts of students. Pictured are charter members of
Bethany’s speech and debate team, which in just its second season
placed sixth in the class A state speech tournament and earned
the highest level of membership in the National Forensic League.
