BEREAN PARENT FELLOWSHIP (BPF) encourages community among Berean Academy parents. BPF's purpose is to support the academy's mission and vision by offering to serve the administration and faculty in various capacities. Parent involvement enhances effective, smooth communication between faculty, staff and parents. BPF also provides opportunities for parents to learn and become excited about our unique identity as a classical Christian school. Please consider how you might play a part in these efforts to unify and strengthen our school.
Berean Parent Fellowship is charged with the responsibility to:
-
be a mode of communication between the headmaster and Berean families, electing officers who will meet regularly with the Headmaster and report on these meetings at BPF gatherings;
-
create opportunities for parents to serve and fellowship, encouraging and cultivating a sense of community among Berean's families; and
-
provide opportunities for parents to learn more about classical Christian education, building a foundation for understanding classroom method and curriculum.
There are many opportunities for parents to be involved at Berean Academy. The ministry of Berean Parent Fellowship includes: Back to School Night, Mom's In Touch Prayer Group, Father Connection, Family Fun Day, Rhetoric Mentoring Program, Teacher Training Luncheons, Picture Day, Library Committee, Spirit Week, "The Day" (upper school event), The Berean Ball, Weekly Lunch Program, Athletic Banquet, Athletics Concessions, Teacher Appreciation Week, Dialectic Dessert, Awards Assembly, end of the year picnic and much more.
