Construction on our new High School Academic Building continues to move forward as crews cap off the first floor and install additional structural steel throughout the building.

With every beam raised and every new phase completed, we're one step closer to opening the doors to a space that will serve generations of Bell Shoals Academy students.

We are incredibly grateful for the construction teams, Academy families, and supporters who are helping bring this vision to life—and we can't wait to continue sharing the progress with you!

Our first chapel of the year was a powerful reminder of what we’re choosing to carry with us into this new school year: TRUST

Our Head of School Daniel Padron shared our word for the year and challenged us to trust in the Lord with all our hearts, lean not on our own understanding, and follow where He leads.

As we step into a new year, new opportunities, and new challenges, may we continue to put our trust in the God.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” — Proverbs 3:5–6
