Bradenton Christian School Secondary School Interim is designed to provide students and faculty opportunities to learn and teach in areas outside the regular classroom. It is our desire to offer courses which enhance our students with a broader perspective of education as well as strengthen them spiritually. Each senior high student is required to participate in Interim. Grades and credit are given by the instructors. Instructors include BCS teachers, parents, community leaders, and Alumni.
Interim is held every-other year between semesters. Courses are held at various locations depending on the nature of the course and instruction given.

Renaissance is a concept that encourages academic excellence, improvement, and citizenship. It is the first and only national education-focused program, sponsored by Jostens, created to recognize and reward academic achievement. The primary goals are to increase student performance, teacher enthusiasm, as well as raise the level of community participation in schools. We have structured and implemented our own Renaissance program to meet the needs of our school.
