Hello!
This is the website for the Buddhist Churches of America(BCA) Dharma Schools. It serves as a clearinghouse of lesson plans, ideas and concepts for the Dharma School teachers. However, in the spirit of "Kai Ho Zo" ( "Throw Open the Dharma Storehouse") we open this site to the general public.
This site moved from the BCADharmaSchool.wikispaces.com which had to shut down due to the provider going out of business.
