The Entrepreneurship class spent the final weeks of the first semester taking their learning from concept to reality as they designed, built, and launched their first official business venture—a student‑run coffee shop named Academy Grind . What began as brainstorming sessions quickly evolved into hands‑on problem‑solving.

This was Dr. Noreen Templin's first year serving as the high school Scholars Bowl coach, and it was a rewarding season from start to finish.

Scholars Bowl is a unique and challenging academic competition, with questions drawn from a wide range of subjects. It often comes down to quick thinking and broad knowled

Since Christmas, the music department has been hard at work preparing for a full season of performances and festivals. Students jumped right into rehearsals in January, polishing music for the winter concert on February 19, as well as for the upcoming solo and ensemble festival and the large ensemble festival later this spring.

During winter break, as our Secondary Principal, Jason Wine, was refinishing a gym floor at another Christian school, he got to talking to the school’s principal, who made this comment to him: “Berean has an amazing legacy of alumni involvement. You have alumni support that spans three or more generations. We just don't have that, but that is something that we are trying to build at our school.” Mr. Wine knew that Berean had exceptional support, but he did not know that other

Berean Academy student-athletes represented Christ and Berean well during the fall sports season. Secondary students competed in three different sports (cross country, soccer, and volleyball).

Right before Thanksgiving Break, we hosted our annual Spiritual Emphasis Week student conference. It was a little later in the semester than usual, but it allowed Dr. Bryan Smith from BJU Press to find an opening in his schedule to speak about “The Spirituality of Work.” Last year, we learned about our identity as image bearers of God, so this was a great way to continue the conversation, as he touched on how we were made to work, the trouble with our work, and the hope we ha

On November 1st, the Robotics class participated in the BEST Robotics competition at Wichita State University. This year's theme, Factoids, was inspired by Artificial Intelligence (AI). Our class theme was “Figuring It Out Together” as all six students were Freshmen and new to robotics. This was also Seth Winzer's first year leading the team. He was impressed with the students' creativity as they brainstormed ways to complete the competition objectives and then worked to turn
