Black Forest Academy

BFA was founded in 1956 by TeachBeyond, (formerly Janz Team Ministries).

Black Forest Academy provides a quality, international Christian education that equips its students to influence their world through biblical thought, character, and action. It is an international Christian school providing an English language education for grades 5-12. Grades 1-4 are part of a bilingual school, Christliche Schule Kandern, a partnership between BFA and Freie Evangelische Schule Lö

rrach. BFA serves the children of international Christian workers and international business families who want a North American curriculum that incorporates a Christian worldview. BFA has an enrollment of approximately 250 students, with about 50% of the 9th-12th grade students in the residential boarding program.

✨Today, our External Affairs Department partnered with our incredible StuCo students to welcome our new families to BFA.

We hope every new (& returning) family feels the genuine care of our staff, the purpose behind the work we do, and how thankful we are to welcome you to BFA.✨

👏StuCo we’re so proud of the way you joyfully served today-it was seen and felt!

💙Thank you to each staff member and volunteer who helped make today great—Admissions, Guidance, Counseling, BFA Worship, Hospitality, teachers, administrators, and so many others. Thank you for helping us create such a warm welcome for our new families.

As we get ready for the 2026–27 school year, we’re looking back with so much thankfulness for the student leadership God has given BFA.

During our 70th Anniversary celebration, we realized that our last three StuCo presidents—and our president-to-be—were all playing in the Powder Puff game, so of course, we had to get a picture! 🏈

Joy ’24 • Madi ’25 • Levi ’26 • Jayna ’27 ✨

What a gift these students have been to BFA and what a testimony to the joy, fun, and leadership they’ve brought to our community. We’ll never forget the 290 days Levi led last year, and we’re excited to see how Jayna will use the gifts God has given her as she leads this year. We thank the Lord for Carol’s StuCo leadership and pray for Mrs. Woolwine as she leads the 26/27 school year—StuCo Retreat 2026 started today!

And, of course, enjoy a few more photos from the game—the Seniors came out victorious! 🏆🩷😉

A huge thank you to the amazing volunteer team from Bethel Evangelical Free Church in Fairmont, Minnesota, hosted by the Granos! ❤️

This team came to BFA to serve our staff by providing childcare during our All Staff Conference—making it possible for our entire staff to be together, invest in one another, and begin the school year united.

Together with BFA students, community volunteers, and BFCF staff, they created a week full of singing, games, childcare, crafts, and catechism lessons. And after all that memorization, the students earned a fun reward: the chance to pie three of their leaders! 🥧😂

We are so grateful for the joyful, generous way this team served our community and helped make our start to the school year so special! 🙌❤️

💙Fun fact: the leader for the team, Alex Schmidt, was the BFA Middle School Vice Principal at BFA and helped with the MS move from Sitzenkirch to Kandern!

Thank you, Bethel Fairmont, for including serving at BFA in your summer plans!☀️

All Staff Conference 2026 (ASC) is underway!
We’re grateful to be together again—welcoming new staff, reconnecting with returning staff, and coming together as a community committed to serving the students and families of Black Forest Academy. It’s a joy to worship together, reflect on who we are as a school, and focus our hearts and minds on the year ahead.✨

🌧️The rain was also a welcome relief from the summer heat.

🎉Celebrating 70 Years | ✂️Trinity Haus Ribbon Cutting

On May 1st during our 70th anniversary weekend, we celebrated the ribbon cutting of BFA’s new Triple Dorm in Kandern followed by Eis Cafe ice cream & tours of the new dorm spaces.

🙌In exciting news, the Triple Dorm—home to Storchenblick (Storch), Haus Bad Riedlingen (HBR), and Haus Alsace—has officially been named Trinity Haus. The name points to our Christian faith and the Triune God we serve, while Haus honors our home here in Germany.🇩🇪

🚪This also marks a historic moment for BFA: for the first time in our history, all of our boarding students will call Kandern home.

We are incredibly thankful to everyone who has given to our Immeasurably More Campaign and helped make this new home for BFA students possible. What a beautiful picture of God’s 70 years of goodness and provision for BFA!

🏫We look forward with great excitement to welcoming students to Trinity Haus on Move-In Day, August 24!

Ehre sei Gott ✨

Many of our staff serve far beyond the roles they were hired to fill. They are coaches, small group leaders, mentors, advisors, and so much more. They don’t just show up in the classroom, the dorms, or the office—they’re on the court, around the lunch table, volunteering at school events, and richly investing in the lives of our students every day.

Every one of them plays a vital role in the ministry of Black Forest Academy, and we’re so grateful for the heart, dedication, and faithfulness they bring. Thank you, 2025–26 staff, for making a lasting impact!

To those who have gone on to new roles of service elsewhere, your years at BFA made a lasting impact. To those who are continuing on for the 26/27 school year-what a joy it will be to serve alongside each other again.

💙To everyone who supports our staff—thank you. They couldn’t do what they do without your encouragement, prayers, and generosity. Your investment makes their ministry possible, and we’re grateful for the way you partner with them. We pray you’ll continue to stand with and support them as they faithfully serve at Black Forest Academy throughout this school year.
