Boarding School
Over half of BFA’s high school students come to live in dormitories during the school year. BFA’s Residence Life program has several dorm houses located in and around Kandern. Surrounded by forests and farmland of southern Germany, these residences are a safe place for students, many of whom have parents working in difficult regions. Dorms are staffed by dorm parents and resident assistants who partner with parents in the important task of preparing students for life after high school.
Elementary Partnership
BFA partners with Freie Evangelische Schule in the operation of Christliche Schule Kandern, a bilingual school for grades 1-4.
