Currently, 38% of BCS’s faculty members hold master’s degrees. The average student/teacher ratio is 8 to 1 with teachers having an average of 15.24 years experience. Each faculty member specializes in specific subjects, ranging from teaching phonics in kindergarten to AP Calculus. Banner’s Mission Statement addresses the desire to teach to the whole child. Teachers instruct using the academic curriculum, but they also minister to students spiritually, socially, emotionally and physically. Consequently, the staff spends time praying, mentoring, and encouraging students, as well as striving to be helpers and sources of discipline and love in their students’ lives.
