'You are only as strong as your weakest link.' There are positive things to say about Berean (as any school), but one of the weakest links is the lack of caring and involvement the teachers display. Do your child a favor, and send them to a school that is composed of faculty that love students

I have attended Berean for eleven years. A school is only as good as its students and teachers are.

I went to Berean for 8 years before I graduated in 2005. I was not happy at this school. The focus of the school was hypicritical; teachers were more concerned about the lenght of skirts and hair styles than the fact that students cursed and the teachers had no respect in the classroom. Now that I have

The Board that runs the school knows nothing about the students, and makes rules that hinder more than help the student body. Plus, the principal is also a full time teacher. Think twice before placing your child in Berean. Read less
