BEREAN BAPTIST ACADEMY<br />

Psalm 92:13 says, “Those that be planted<br />

in <strong>the</strong> house of <strong>the</strong> Lord shall flourish in<br />

<strong>the</strong> courts of our God.” Flourishing is exactly<br />

what Berean Baptist Academy has done since it<br />

was founded in 1975. Starting with just thirtyeight<br />

students, <strong>the</strong> school’s enrollment has<br />

grown to over 400 students. To accommodate<br />

that expanding number of students, Berean<br />

Baptist Academy has swelled from limited<br />

facilities to two campuses. Berean was founded<br />

with a vision to teach and train Christian girls<br />

and boys to become responsible, godly young<br />

ladies and gentlemen who would impact <strong>the</strong><br />

world for <strong>the</strong> cause of Jesus Christ.<br />

Located at 518 Glensford Drive, off Cliffdale<br />

Road, across from its parent church Berean<br />

Baptist Church, <strong>the</strong> Academy is a Christian<br />

school designed to assist parents with <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

responsibility to raise <strong>the</strong>ir children in “<strong>the</strong><br />

nurture and admonition of <strong>the</strong> Lord.” This is<br />

accomplished by providing a disciplined,<br />

structured environment with a strong academic<br />

program for children from preschool<br />

through twelfth grade. The school offers<br />

Spanish I and II with a proficient Spanishspeaking<br />

instructor, a fantastic fine arts<br />

department that produces various concerts<br />

and drama productions throughout each<br />

school year, AP and honors courses, online<br />

CLEP classes and <strong>the</strong> opportunity for juniors<br />

or seniors to attend FTCC for college courses.<br />

The overwhelming majority of students take<br />

<strong>the</strong> SATs and traditionally score well above<br />

<strong>the</strong> national average. Our students produce a<br />

quality yearbook in an elective course. The<br />

school has well over 400 students in grades<br />

K3 through twelfth grade.<br />

God has blessed <strong>the</strong> school ministry with a<br />

main school building that houses a computer<br />

lab, an art room, an elementary media lab and<br />

a 10,000 square foot gym that was remodeled<br />

in 2000. The state-of-<strong>the</strong>-art preschool building<br />

opened in 2007 and accommodates K3<br />

and K4 students with its own secure playground<br />

area. Academy students also utilize a<br />

large elementary playground, a soccer and<br />

baseball field and a music/drama modular<br />

building. The entire high school campus is<br />

Wi-Fi connected and classes use “smartboard”<br />

technology in all of <strong>the</strong>se classrooms.<br />

The school offers middle school soccer and<br />

basketball; JV soccer and basketball; and varsity<br />

cross country, soccer, basketball and baseball<br />

for boys. Berean offers JV volleyball, basketball<br />

and cheerleading; and varsity cross country,<br />

volleyball, cheerleading and soccer for girls.<br />

All tuition and fees are updated yearly on<br />

<strong>the</strong> Academy’s website at www.bbafnc.org.<br />

Here you can also find all pertinent information<br />

about our staff, programs, where our<br />

graduates have attended colleges and universities<br />

around <strong>the</strong> country, and a link to<br />
