I was a student at B. B. and I think it was amazing. The teachers are so nice and finally educated. Since I moved i no longer can attend Berean Baptist. the adamemics are challenging. The lunches are costly and repetive, but you could always pack your lunch. Its diffently worth the money to attend this

My daughter has been attending this school for some years and now in the 2nd grade. I think the class sizes are too large for this school. The class sizes are much smaller in public schools. The instruction is a lot better than public schools I would have to agree because of more parents are involved,

The classroom teachers could cut down on having the 'favorite' students year after year. Overall the school is okay I think for gradeschoolers not too sure about high schoolers. Read less

The quality of the academic program at this school is excellent. I just moved from Berean Academy where I had all three of my children enrolled. Although I have enrolled my children at a new Christian school in another state which also is a very good school, it can't compare to Berean. I didn't realize
... Read more how affordable Berean Academy was until I checked in other private schools. The school we are in now cost as much for only two of my children as what Berean was costing for all three. My sophmore will tell you the standards at Berean are much higher than where he is currently and he was much more challenged at Berean. Due to Berean, my oldest two chidren consistently score 4-5 grades higher than their peers on standardized testing. Berean has excellent standards and awesome credentials! Read less

Is this a Christian school or community school? The walls and ceilings leak during storms. Mold is in the vent systems and on several walls in the classrooms, and carpets. The books and tuition have gone up two years in a row, the cost is not worth the hastle. Teachers and staff have different sets

Over the last few years, Berean has accepted the unchurched kids that the public schools no longer want, causing the quality of education to slip. The high school has little academic choices. They do not allow the sophomores or juniors to participate program offered at the local college. Many of the teachers have favorites, little to no compassion, and are unwilling to help. Read less

This will be the greatest investment in your life. I had my children in the public 'best' (Stoney Point and Jack Britt) and nothing can compare to the quality of instruction at Berean. My 8th grader scored on a national standardized test at the post-high school level in every area except for one and

In addition to the excellent academic preparation, they are learning values, respect, honor and responsibility. Very few school teach anything of the sort. The leadership is excellent, the teachers are caring and competent, and the other children are warm and respectful too. Their music program is top notch and my 9th grader is taking a AP class from FTCC. The school is excellentin all respects. Read less

I attended Berean for 13 years and graduated with a 4.2 GPA, honors in english and math. I liked the way abeka books taught us and its amazing how many facts I remember from history while I'm in college. Because of the bible program, I can intelligently debate other college students in college because
... Read more I know what I believe. My family never had much money but God seemed to provide the tuition somehow for me and my brother and sister. By His grace they both will graduate. My brother is a junior and loves the sports program. Berean doensn't shelter. The rules are there for a reason. Two buttons on a oxford was not a big deal for me because I knew the school just wanted us to look nice on Fridays. Getting ready in the mornings was so easy and the money was spent on clothes that would last years. Read less

I spent a total of 5 years at Berean, and graduated from there. After a few years, I can honestly say that Berean did not prepare me for college, and did not prepare me for the real world. My parents had good intentions by sending me to Berean, unfortunately they also now agree that it was a mistake.
... Read more My younger sibling was pulled from Berean not to long ago, after my parents realized what a mistake it was. My only recommendation for this school, is during the younger years, maybe through 5th grade. I do not recommend this school to anyone, especially when there are other private schools with a much better learning program, college prep, and trained instructors for about the same price.

We LOVE Berean! We have just moved to another state and every morning when I bring my son to school he comments that he want to go back to Berean! That says something when a child ask to go to school! Principal Adams is a wonderful caring person and the teachers are genuinely caring towards the students.
... Read more The school is very open to parent involvement! Yes it cost money, yes there are uniforms, yes there are rules! That's exactly why we choose Berean. So my son could concentrate on being taught and not have to worry about the discipline problems of the other students! The lunches could be better. Read less

I have pros and cons for this school. My children(2) have been attending since 2005. The Christian environment I really enjoy and the curriculum. The con is that is of the expense with tuition and lunch. One of my children is in the preschool section and doesn't qualify for the discount if you have

This school has great academic programs. Overall the teachers are good as well as Godly examples. They could put more emphasis on the physical health of the children. The lunch is very weak and repetitive each week (very boring) not to mention the cost. The kids need healthy lunches and more exercise.
