Our boarding homes are located on the southwestern edge of the Black Forest. Kandern is a small picturesque town surrounded by forests, rolling hills and dozens of hiking trails. We are only a short drive from both Switzerland and the Alsace region of France.

Our academic program is rigorous. BFA is accredited by the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) and the Commission on Secondary Schools of the Middle States Association (MSA). BFA is a member of the Association of German International Schools (AGIS) and the German Association of Evangelical Missions (AEM).

We offer our students the opportunity to take PSAT, SAT, ACT, and Advancement Placement exams, and assist students with university planning.
