BFA
Black Forest Academy: Equipping Globally-Minded Christians to Change the
World
Nestled in the scenic town of Kandern,
Germany, Black Forest Academy (BFA) is far more than an
international school — it’s a community where academic excellence meets
Christ-centered purpose. For over 65 years, BFA has pursued a clear
mission: to provide a quality, international Christian education that
equips its students to influence their world through biblical thought,
character, and action.
A Mission That Matters
At the core of Black Forest
Academy’s identity is its mission to develop young people who live out
their faith with intentionality and impact. Every classroom, activity, and
conversation at BFA is rooted in a biblical worldview, ensuring
students are equipped not just academically, but spiritually — ready to think
critically, lead with integrity, and serve others with compassion.
A Vision for the World
BFA’s vision is
both simple and powerful: globally-minded Christians changing their world
for Christ. This vision reflects the school’s deep commitment to raising
up students who engage with culture thoughtfully and courageously, living out
their faith in diverse contexts around the globe.
Whether students come from
missionary families, international business backgrounds, or other global
contexts, Black Forest Academy creates a space where young hearts are formed to
influence their communities for Christ.
A Community of Belonging and Growth
Located in the Black Forest region
near the borders of France and Switzerland, BFA draws students from dozens of
countries. The school offers both boarding and day programs for
grades 5–12, all taught in English. Its rigorous curriculum prepares students
for higher education around the world while fostering a deep sense of
belonging, faith, and purpose.
Through strong academics grounded
in Scripture, mentorship from dedicated staff, and meaningful community
life, BFA shapes students to be thinkers, leaders, and servants —
individuals ready to impact the world with truth, love, and grace.
