Academics
Sound Mind
“At BC High, we aim to nurture each young man as a whole person— head, heart, and hands.
Our model of academic excellence goes beyond the traditional school experience to help you, as an individual, define your values and choose a direction in life that’s complementary to your strengths. Your passions will inspire a lifelong mission to serve the greater good.
Our process is Christ-centered and seeks to form men who live from the inside out, rooted in a distinct spirituality and commitment to serve others. It requires a deep understanding of what resides in your heart and the interior movements of your soul.
You’ll build confidence here, learning to formulate and express yourself in a supportive community, and develop intellectual competence through advanced educational practices which incorporate the arts, humanities, sciences, and mathematics.
To seal your success, you’ll be supported each year by a strong advisory and guidance program which ensures that you have what you need to thrive at BC High. You’ll develop the skills necessary to fulfill your own valuable and unique potential.”
– Principal Adam Lewis
Cura Personalis is a Latin phrase meaning “care for the whole person.” We respect all that makes up each individual.
The Academic Resource Center is a dedicated space open before, during, and after school for all students to get the academic support they need to thrive at BC High. Here, they can ask questions, get additional support with assignments, and develop their organizational and study skills.

Learn More about the ARCCorcoran Library
More than just a collection of books or a place to study, the Corcoran Library plays a key role in the life of a BC High student. It is constantly buzzing with young men as they tackle group projects, discuss what they are reading and watching, work through math problems. Students of all ages and interests flock to the library first thing in the morning, during lunch and after the last bell to study, meet and explore.
Resources & Facilities
The Corcoran Library has two computer labs for class use where they have the opportunity to learn computer programming, discuss digital photography or discover the library’s many resources. The library also has two quiet study areas, a courtyard, and a new Learning Commons where students congregate to work collaboratively.

Corcoran Living Library Lecture Series
First established in 2007, the Corcoran Living Library Lecture Series is made possible by the generosity of Joseph E. Corcoran ’53 as part of his donation to the BC High library. The speaker series fulfills Corcoran’s goal to create a “living library,” bringing noted contemporary authors and speakers to campus and talk with students face-to-face. These guests share their work and make it real, dispatching students, faculty, and staff outside BC High’s walls to serve as ambassadors for learning in the community.
Dragon Hoops
As part of the Corcoran Living Library Lecture Series for 2022, we are pleased to welcome Gene Luen Yang, author of our all school read, Dragon Hoops. Please join the BC High community on November 10 at 9:30 a.m. for the presentation.
