Barker Creek Community School (BCCS) is a public K-12 school of choice in Bremerton, Washington, United States. It is operated by the Central Kitsap School District and was established in 2017 as an alternative learning option. The school offers classroom-based learning, a remote learning program, and a homeschooling support program.[3]

Construction work began in January 2017, with the goal of opening the school by August 2017.[6] Barker Creek Community School began operations in September 2017 and was designated as a school of choice within the Central Kitsap School District.[7]
Academics and programs
[edit]Barker Creek Community School provides three distinct learning models: a homeschooling support program for grades K–8; a virtual academy for all grades; and a classroom-based program for high school-age students.
The Central Kitsap School District provides behavioral health services to all students, including those at Barker Creek.[8]
