Blue Ridge Christian Academy was a private preparatory school in Landrum, South Carolina. The school had classes for students ranging from Pre-kindergarten to High School level. The academy was founded by Jill and E.J. Bird in 2004, and is governed by a board of directors. It is accredited by Association of Christian Schools International. ==Curriculum== Students come from Landrum, Campobello, Taylors, Greer, Travelers Rest, Spartanburg, Greenville, and Marietta as well as Columbus and Tryon, NC. Their centrally located setting was intended to encourage outdoor settings for classroom and extra-curricular activities. It offered a Christ centered education, where kids were intended to be "prepared to impact the world for Christ". The school believed its teachings and policies were based on the word of God. In Spring 2013, it was reported that a 4th grade science quiz administered at the school promoted Young Earth creationism, a view that is not based on empirical data.〔 The quiz stated that the Earth is not billions of years old, that dinosaurs did not live millions of years ago, that God created dinosaurs on the 6th day and included several Biblical questions that had no relevance to science. Diana Baker, BRCA Administrator, stated that she did not feel anything wrong was done and that the teacher will not be disciplined.〔 Ken Ham, President of Answers in Genesis, stated on his blog that the quiz was based on a DVD produced by his organization. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Blue Ridge Christian Academy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
