We look for the following in prospective students; 1) a personal desire to attend Berean, 2) acceptance of Jesus Christ as personal Savior and a desire to live in obedience to Him, 3) an outstanding scholastic record, 4) favorable recommendations by the youth pastor, principal, and teachers, 5) willingness to abide by the rules of the school, 6) satisfactory completion of the application documents, and 7) satisfactory completion of an interview.
Approximately 105-110 new students are admitted per year.
We take into consideration all the contents of the student application: including the application content, the transcript, the teacher recommendations, and the interview.
Our Admissions Committee consists of school administrators who review the applications, conduct student and family interviews and discuss the viability of all prospective candidates.
Interviews are required for every student as part of the application process to Berean Christian. They will typically take place during the months of February and March and will be conducted by a member of the admissions committee. The interview is really a conversation in which the student has an opportunity to tell about himself/herself, what his/her passions are, his/her educational goals, and why he/she wants to attend Berean.
Unfortunately, admission to Berean is very competitive. We remain committed to accepting those students who show the greatest potential for success in our program.
Please notify the admissions office in writing if you decide to withdraw a student's application. The letter must include both the student's and the parent/guardian's signature.
We can accept transfer students only if a currently enrolled student leaves. Transfer space availability varies from year to year.
Tuition for the 2012-2013 school year is $8,600 annually. Tuition fees for the 2013-2014 school year will be published in January 2013.
Yes. Students and parents who are interested in our tuition aid programs should complete a Financial Assistance Application available from the office.
Offers of admission will be mailed to the parents of ninth grade students once all scheduled interviews have been completed. Students who are offered a position will have one week to accept or reject the offer. Decision letters (including offers of admission, offers of wait pool status, and denial letters) are generally mailed out in the beginning of April.
If a student has been offered wait pool status, he/she must respond in order to accept the offer or withdraw from consideration. If the student chooses to remain in the waiting pool, he/she will be notified if a space becomes available. Historically, we have been able to accept a number of students from our waiting pool; however, we encourage all students to have a back-up plan in the event we are unable to accommodate them.
While we do appreciate the importance of having siblings enrolled at the same school and the sense of family that sibling and legacy applicants bring to our community, we cannot guarantee admission based on association alone. These prospective students must also demonstrate the spiritual maturity, academic and leadership ability they would need to succeed at Berean on their own.
Both school visits are optional. The Prospective Student Day visit gives students a chance to see a school day in action. Students have the opportunity to visit a class, go on a campus tour with a current student, and attend an admissions information session with other prospective students. Parent Information Night invites parents to learn more about Berean's curriculum, educational philosophy, and mission. Additionally, attendees meet faculty, students, and current Berean parents.
