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 100 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 who has submitted an application to Berean Christian. They will typically take place between February 15 and March 15 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; historically only 60-65% of applicants are accepted.
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. We anticipate having limited transfer openings for 2008-2009.
Please contact the office for the latest information regarding tuition and fees.
Yes. Students and parents who are interested in our tuition aid programs should complete a Financial Assistance Application.
The admissions letters for incoming ninth grade students will be mailed after all interviews are completed. Students who are admitted will then have a week to make a decision about which high school they will attend. Decision letters are generally mailed out in the beginning of April.
If a student has been placed in the waiting list, he/she has the opportunity to remain or to forfeit his/her space . If the student chooses to remain in the waiting pool, he/she will be notified in mid-April if there is a space available. Historically, at Berean, we accept many students from our waiting list, however, we encourage students to pursue other options.
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 and are subject to our desire to have a balanced class.
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.
