About the Provider
The philosophy of Berean Junior Academy is to provide a sound, Christ-centered, uniquely Seventh-day Adventist education, in which the student is taught to cherish the practical teachings of the Bible and Spirit of Prophecy maintaining at the same time a high degree of academic excellence.
We believe that our school should not only prepare our youth to be leaders in our church and in our society, but also to be heirs in the world to come. To provide such an educaton, this school recognizes that the parent's role is very important in the development of the students.
