Is school in session Monday through Friday?

No. Berean operates on a four-day school week, with classes meeting Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 3:30 PM. This schedule allows us to provide a full and productive academic week while also giving students and families an additional day for rest, appointments, travel, family time, and other activities. Our goal is to make the most of the time students spend in the classroom while supporting a healthy balance between school and home life. 

​

Do you require uniforms?

We do not have uniforms, however, we do have a dress code, which can be found in our Family Handbook. 

​

Do you offer a lunch program for students?

We do not offer a hot lunch program for students. Refrigerators and microwaves are available for students to store, cool, and heat their food. Concession items (chips, snacks, etc) may be purchased during lunch for 7th-12th grade.

​

Are you affiliated with any denomination?

We are a non-denominational Christian school. We base all of our teachings solely on Biblical principles. Our student population represents 25+ churches and a variety of denominations.

 

Do you require students to use the King James Version?

 Yes. To maintain consistency across all grade levels, Berean Christian Academy uses the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible. This is the translation incorporated into our curriculum, allowing students and teachers to study, memorize, and discuss Scripture using the same text throughout their academic experience.
