In January, Berean Academy hosted the 59th Annual Eli J. Walter Basketball Tournament, Kansas’s longest-running girls’ basketball tournament. For the second year in a row, the boys also competed in the Eli J. Walter Tournament. The girls’ basketball team opened up the tournament with a 52-35 victory over Classical School of Wichita, which was highlighted by a 31-point night for senior Fionna Morgan. In the semifinal round, Berean triumphed over Central Christian School out of

As we near the end of the third quarter of the school year, I am reminded that this quarter is normally the longest in terms of the number of days students are in school. It’s also the longest in terms of how it feels, because we are dealing with inclement weather, illness, and many students' extra-curricular activities. In other words, the third quarter is a busy, taxing time of the school year, when fatigue becomes a factor and energy wanes. But the third quarter is also wh

Jacky is a beloved retired teacher whose dedication to Christian education has impacted generations of students. Her passion for serving young people began early—at age 16, she entered ministry by teaching Sunday School, starting a Children’s Church, and working with YFC clubs in Omaha, Nebraska.

Greetings from the Class of 1966! Berean’s 80th anniversary is our 60th; our graduating class of 33 is now 22, and we are glad to celebrate the impact Berean had on our lives. Probably the most significant benefit for me in attending Berean Academy was meeting my wife, Elvina Busenitz. We had our first date to the Berean Christmas Banquet in the fall of 1963; we were 15 years old, which meant that I was not old enough to drive! So we had a double date with friends, chauffeure

The Praise & Celebration Banquet is Berean Academy’s primary fundraiser held annually. We are excited to announce that this year’s event will be on Friday, April 10, at 6:30 p.m.  Each year, this special evening brings together nearly 600 guests—alumni, grandparents, parents, and friends—all united in supporting Christian education that helps our children grow as scholars, disciples, and citizens in Christ. This year is especially meaningful as Berean Academy joyfully celebra

The fall quarter officially ended on October 17, but there has been no slowdown in activities at Berean Academy. Between scholars’ bowl competitions, robotics, volleyball, soccer, and cross country, it's been a busy season.

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

We have officially launched our new student-led podcast series titled “Inside the Academy”. This series was created as part of our new Service Group concept, where students spend 30 minutes every other Tuesday working on projects in service to Berean and the community

We had another wonderful time together at East Lake this year!  One huge difference was that we had the 6th graders joining in, and they did a fantastic job of integrating into the junior high. The junior high retreat has always been a great way for students to start the year off, getting acquainted or reacquainted with one another and getting excited for another year together. Once we arrived and completed our bus evacuation drill, we gathered inside to hear a devotional fro

The 2025-26 school year is underway, and with it, we begin celebrating the school’s 80th year!  Over the last eight decades, God has kept His hand on Berean Academy, nurturing it from its founding in 1946 with an enrollment of fifteen high school students and two buildings purchased at an auction in Oil Hill, to its current state with an enrollment of 331 students in grades K-12, with two gymnasiums, a cafeteria, an office building, 40 classrooms, a library and an industrial

Our Spiritual Emphasis Week touched the hearts of many students as they were challenged to consider what it means to be the image bearers of God.

Some of the highlights for me this year have been the quality of the fine arts programs, the High School Commencement, and the Praise & Celebration Banquet. All three reflect the school’s core values and mission statement very well.

On Saturday, May 17, Berean Academy gained a new set of alumni! The class of 2025 is now added to the funny pages, and their time at Berean has come to an end.

We are pleased to announce the National Honor Society members for the 2024-2025 academic year.

If you think you know Berean Academy, take a closer look! Berean Academy has been educating and equipping students with a biblical worldview for eighty years. That is a rich legacy, with third and fourth-generation families sending their children to the school. But if you think you know Berean Academy, we invite you to take another look and see for yourself.  We are intent on aligning what we do with the school’s mission and vision, including the partnership with the home and
