Meet the Fischer family, whose boys have been growing at Bookcliff from Preschool through the 4th and 5th grades. We are blessed to have them in the Bobcat family!
Hi! My name is Sarah Fischer and my husband (of 17 years) is Jeremiah (aka Jere). Jere and I met in middle school in the small town of Cedaredge, Colorado. I am a CPA at Dalby, Wendland and Jere is a mortgage loan officer with Academy Mortgage.
We have two wonderful children, Evan and Cooper who are only 13 months apart. They are in the 4thand 5th grade at BCS. Evan and Cooper are great friends and when they are not in school stay busy playing on the same travel baseball team (with many other friends they met at BCS), and numerous other sports. We all enjoy the Colorado outdoors –camping, fishing, & snowboarding whenever we can.
Our family's journey with BCS began in preschool. We had friends who led us to choose BCS and we felt at home immediately. We were not sure we would stay passed preschool – but the all-day kindergarten and safe, & loving environment kept us here. We made the decision to continue their elementary school years at BCS for many reasons.
Meet Skylar and his family, and hear the unique way God brought them together and then to BCS.
Hi! My name is Aric Harper, and I am excited for the opportunity to share a little bit about our family, our faith and our experience with Bookcliff Christian School. My wife, Wenona, is an RN and works as the head of Quality Assurance for Critical Nurse Staffing. I am a Manufacturing Engineer with Walker Products (I’m nerdy and I know it). Skylar has been attending BCS since he started kindergarten and is now in 2nd grade.
Skylar came into our lives in an unusual way. We are actually his grandparents. We started providing primary care for him when he was 4 months old, and have had full custody since he was 8 months old. Skylar is God’s perfect answer to my heartfelt prayers. Wenona and I were not able to have our own children, and I poured out my heart so many times to God, longing for the chance to raise my own child. As the years passed, I accepted that the answer was no. Then Skylar came. He is a reminder every day that our Father in Heaven knows us, hears us and loves us. I can’t imagine how He could have answered my prayers more perfectly. We feel a tremendous burden to raise Skylar “in the fear and knowledge of the Lord,” as I am sure all parents here do. Every child is a gift from God, but not many come in the form Skylar did.
When we first started searching for a school for Skylar, we wanted to avoid public school if possible. We looked at charter schools, but they didn’t feel right. After having a tour at BCS, we knew God had led us to the right place. We were drawn by the small class sizes, the rigorous academics and the focus on Jesus as Lord and Savior. Looking back over two and a half years at BCS, I believe without hesitation that we made the right decision for Skylar and for us.
I can’t begin to thank my daughters teachers and staff at Bookcliff enough for all of the care and encouragement they have giving her this year. As a parent with a child who had not been in daycare or in anyone’s care other than her grandmothers it was terrifying for me to leave her at first. She has grown so much over the last year and I am so thankful my husband and I made the decision to take her to Bookcliff.
Yes, we would recommend BCS to others! Children receive the utmost attention and care, and parents are valued members of the education team.

The whole staff has made us feel so welcomed and we love that is such a Christ centered facility. We looked for a long time for a place that will nurture our child in not only emotional but spiritually.
This is our second year at BCS and my daughter loves every single teacher here! I have been amazed at all the skills and knowledge she has picked up at BCS. We have tried other preschools in the valley and no one compares. BCS offers so much more than we found anywhere else. It is always clean, the teachers are always genuinely happy and pleasant, and they cultivate a happy positive atmosphere that my daughter is thriving in.
The teachers and staff at BCPS have been so incredible, I couldn’t be happier with the school. Thanks for another great year and we are looking forward to next year!

Going to BCS gave me a very firm standing in my Christian faith. The teachers there were able to show me Christ in ways that have remained with me through my adolescence and that I plan to carry on into adulthood as well. Spending time with strong Christians at such a formidable age helped me become the person I am today.
I am so thankful my parents were able to send me to a Christian school with such loving and caring staff and teachers. It was a different transition from public to private school. I can’t say I didn’t make mistakes, but through God’s grace I made it through high school still wanting to go to church and not straying away from God’s plans for me. Which makes BCS’s motto verse, Proverbs 22:6, perfect: “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old he will NOT depart from it.” Thank you teachers, staff, and friends of BCS!
During my time at BCS, I was able to form close, lifelong relationships with many people. BCS instilled in me positive values that have served me well in my jobs, high school, and college career. Most importantly, however, BCS gave me a solid foundation in Christian values and knowledge that has blossomed into a passionate relationship with Jesus—and I will always be thankful for that
