Student Life

Omada System

What are Omadas?

Beginning in 7th grade, students are assigned to a team where they will remain a member until they graduate. Families are kept within the same Team. Leaders are selected for each of their Teams planning activities and organizing service projects. Throughout the school year, the three Omadas (teams) participate in an ongoing competition with rewards for each trimester.

The BCS Omadas exists to meet the following objectives:

Opportunity for interaction and community across grades
Leadership training
Mentorship by Team Leaders
Sense of competitive fun and support
Community service
Increase participation in school events
Faculty guidance
Cultivate a sense of school pride

The three Teams or Omadas are named after Greek city states: Corinth, Sparta and Athens.
