Congratulations to the 2012 Science Fair Winners.

2012-2013 Tuition Payment Program BBS has partnered with FACTS Management Company for our 2012-2013 tuition payment program. Returning families enrolled in FACTS during the 2011-12 school year will be automatically re-enrolled for the 2012-2013 school year. New families to BBS who will be paying tuition monthly will need to enroll in the FACTS Payment Plan to start the process. The deadline to apply is May 15. Students will not be officially enrolled at BBS until their FACTS agreement has been completed. New and returning families paying annually or semi-annually do not need to enroll with FACTS for tuition payments.
