I feel that some of the teachers treat some parents and.or kids like they do not belong at BCS. How could that be? This is not a free education; it is been paid for but yet you are treated like it is free. Some teachers are not courteous to you and also some of the parents but yet this is a christian based school. The teachers say negative things about the kids very openly, too many issues. Read less

Fortunately, administration from elementary to secondary to headmaster has all changed for the 2007-2008 school year.

I currently have two boys attending BCS. I find the teachers my children have had so far are exceptional. There is a lot of one and one.

My son has attended Berean for several years and we love it. He is getting an excellent, college-preparatory education.

The school's discipline policy is fair and, unlike at many other schools, actually enforced. I've observed that the students who can't handle the school's discipline policy are usually products of parents who aren't doing their job training and disciplining the kids at home in the first place. Parental involvement and responsibility are always encouraged at Berean. Most important of all, my child is getting spiritual instruction about the Bible and living for Christ. We love BCS! Read less

Berean Christian does it right! This Christ centered school focuses on the 'whole' child. My child who is in 7th grade is a living testimony of all that is right in Christian Education.

Berean has established itself as an educator that will not bend to outside influences, but maintain quality that is stretching far beyond the normal realms of education. I plan to keep my child at Berean through high school, because they produce quality citizens and young adults that will make a difference in this world. My oldest daughter will be graduating this year and she has received a Florida bright futures scholarship, and I thank BCS for that! Read less
