Help Shape Bright Futures at BCCL

THE BCCL FOUNDATION

Impactful Giving, Positive Outcomes

As a registered charity, the Bermuda Centre for Creative Learning Foundation (BCCLF) continuously seeks donor funding to offer tuition bursaries for families, and to contribute to BCCL’s operational expenses.

Due to students’ needs and BCCL’s commitment to providing low student-to-teacher ratios, the number of staff required is much higher than traditional schools.

Our school’s growth continues to follow a similar trend, with more lower-income families enrolling children who previously attended public school and are unaccustomed to paying school tuition.

In the 2023-24 school year, 38% of our enrollment was from single-income households. The rising cost of food, housing and utilities has impacted these families more than households with multiple incomes: they do not have safety nets to rely on if a family member experiences reduced work hours or a job loss.

Run by volunteers and a board of trustees, BCCLF’s goal is to partner with other like-minded organizations to ensure that children’s needs are met, and that they can become productive members of our community. For the 2023-24 school year, over 50% of our families received tuition bursaries and support. Given the state of the economy and the lack of alternative educational options on the island, donor funding is crucial now more than ever.
