Bellevue Children's Academy (BCA) is an independent day school in the Crossroads area of Bellevue, Washington, on Seattle's Eastside, for children from Preschool (age three) to Grade 4. Educator Yuka Shimizu founded it in 1999 as an after-school learning centre, and a year later it became a full day school with a strong focus on maths and phonics. In 2016 BCA was authorised as an IB World School for the Primary Years Programme, and it now belongs to the International Schools Partnership. The school uses two campuses a few minutes apart: the North Campus hosts the Early Years (Preschool and Pre-K), and the South Campus houses Kindergarten to Grade 4. Classes are small, and from Grade 1 pupils are grouped for accelerated reading and maths, with progress measured through MAP testing. From Preschool every child has specialist lessons in music, art, PE and coding, and Spanish is taught from Kindergarten. The community includes families from 12 nationalities, English language support is available, and the school prepares pupils for entry to selective middle schools after Grade 4.
