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

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

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