School Reviews

Our children have attended Berea since they were in Kindergarten and we have been extremely pleased with their education. I love knowing that my children are learning and studying the Word of God daily! What a blessing! And I thank God that we have a school where each class is taught from a Biblical worldview by wonderful, caring teachers. In addition, the small class sizes and "mentoring" of the older students to the younger students has been a wonderful atmosphere for our children to learn. I love seeing my children grow in wisdom and leadership through their school life. Monthly field trips, strong music program, annual fairs, activities (LEGO robotics, Basketball), and many other things. We couldn't be happier to be able to give this opportunity in education to our children.
