Family Resource and Youth Services Centers (FRYSCs) help BCS families solve problems and overcome barriers to learning. Our Family Resource Centers (FRC) serves Bardstown Early Childhood, Primary and Elementary. Our Youth Services Centers (YSC) serve Bardstown Middle and High school. Overall, BCS has 4 centers serving our 5 schools. All centers work with local agencies and businesses to  offer their own blend of programs and services, but each center provides support in core areas.
