Bethel Christian School is an independent non-denominational Christian co-educational primary and secondary day school, located in Albany, Western Australia, catering for boys and girls from kindergarten to Year 12.[3]
The school commenced operating in 1981 with a total of 22 students.[2]
In 2019 the school expressed an intention to acquire an area of adjoining park land to redevelop as sports fields. Local residents fought the issue with City of Albany.[4]
Year 11 classes were introduced to the school in 2019 with the first Year 12 cohort of 22 students graduating in 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic.[5]
In 2021 the school celebrate its 40-year anniversary by having a concert, barbeque and burying a time capsule. The Principal, Mim Butler, said she "hoped to see the school continue to grow over the next 40 years with hopes of establishing a specialised senior secondary area".[2]
