Volunteer Opportunities
Bell Shoals Academy welcomes visitors and volunteers to the campus. We are pleased to have the support of volunteers to enhance the academy experience for our students.
Bell Shoals Academy offers several opportunities for parents to be involved in their student's education. All campuses offer ways for parents to volunteer in their student's classroom. These volunteer opportunities are best arranged by speaking with your student's teacher. The Brandon campus also offers the Preschool Volunteer Fellowship, the Parent Teacher Fellowship and the Education Steering Committee.
