<strong>Bethany</strong> <strong>Christian</strong> <strong>Schools</strong><br />
<strong>2010</strong>-<strong>11</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong>
Principal’s <strong>Report</strong><br />
—Allan Dueck<br />
In <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>11</strong> <strong>Bethany</strong> focused new<br />
directions in academic programming,<br />
nurturing faith in students,<br />
and understanding the value of<br />
Anabaptist-Mennonite education.<br />
Academic programming<br />
<strong>Bethany</strong>’s mission statement describes the school<br />
as a “dynamic learning community.” That dynamic<br />
quality was apparent during extended faculty meetings<br />
as teachers collaborated to enhance students’<br />
learning based on data such as test results and<br />
performance in classes, used data to systematically<br />
identify areas for students to improve, developed<br />
plans to enable them to do so, and then reevaluated<br />
students’ learning to assess growth.<br />
<strong>Bethany</strong> also substantially increased dual-credit<br />
and Advanced Placement course offerings. Juniors<br />
and seniors can now take a total of four AP courses<br />
and seven dual-credit courses through Bluffton University<br />
and Goshen College. Offered in heterogeneous<br />
classes, these courses demonstrate <strong>Bethany</strong>’s<br />
continuing commitment to diversity while providing<br />
top-flight preparation for that large majority of<br />
<strong>Bethany</strong> students planning to attend college.<br />
Faith development<br />
A committee of three <strong>Bethany</strong> faculty members<br />
and three community persons, two pastors and<br />
a Goshen College Bible professor, completed a<br />
comprehensive review of <strong>Bethany</strong>’s Bible program.<br />
Along with strong affirmation of the current Bible<br />
program, the committee also suggested areas for<br />
growth—such as finding new ways to partner with<br />
congregations in <strong>Christian</strong> nurture.<br />
Value of Anabaptist-Mennonite education<br />
Utilizing as a tool John D. Roth’s stimulating<br />
new book, Teaching That Transforms: Why Anabaptist-<br />
Mennonite Education Matters (MPN, 20<strong>11</strong>), the faculty<br />
and board engaged in spirited discussions about the<br />
unique blend of faith and learning at <strong>Bethany</strong>—<br />
the nature of Mennonite pedagogy, the distinctive<br />
culture of our school, and the qualities of dedicated<br />
and accomplished teachers. This reflective conversation<br />
energized us as <strong>Christian</strong> educators.<br />
A Word from the Board Chair<br />
—Jaime Alvarez<br />
Let me share several highlights from<br />
<strong>2010</strong>-<strong>11</strong>.<br />
In the wake of the recession,<br />
<strong>Bethany</strong>’s administration and board<br />
focused on finding entrepreneurial strategies to build<br />
enrollment and strengthen the balance sheet. To<br />
support student recruitment, we introduced financial<br />
incentives such as a discount for pastors’ children<br />
and merit-based scholarships. From the success of<br />
the UB Bruin Club, a monthly gathering of elementary<br />
children, came parents’ call to introduce fourth<br />
and fifth grades. Based on that call we decided<br />
to implement a two-year pilot program while, on<br />
another front, we introduced daily bus service from<br />
Elkhart. These initiatives generated interest among<br />
prospective students.<br />
Sometimes developments from the outside impact<br />
our school. Such was the case this year as Indiana’s<br />
legislature enacted the momentous Choice Scholarship<br />
Program, which promised funding towards<br />
tuition in non-public schools for low and middleincome<br />
families new to such schools. This program<br />
increased <strong>Bethany</strong>’s capacity to serve all interested<br />
students, no matter what the family income.<br />
Also last year we laid the foundation for a capital<br />
campaign to strengthen <strong>Bethany</strong>’s long-term sustainability.<br />
Interest clustered in three areas: funding to<br />
reduce energy consumption and perhaps introduce<br />
alternative energy, endowment for tuition assistance<br />
and facilities upkeep, and enhancement of technology<br />
education to equip students for college and<br />
work in the 21st century. At year’s end we formed<br />
a school-constituency committee to prepare for a<br />
feasibility study.<br />
On behalf of everyone at <strong>Bethany</strong>, I thank you for<br />
your ongoing support of <strong>Christian</strong> education at<br />
<strong>Bethany</strong>—a school that provides learning that lasts,<br />
faith that lives.<br />
