An education that develops
the whole person by cultivating...
The Bible is the center of the curriculum at Berks Christian School. Not only is it the most important subject matter, but it is also the source of the principles that determine the way other subject matter is taught. Whether learning the geography of France, the Pythagorean theorem or the symbolism in classic novels, students and teachers evaluate all they see in the world through the lens of Scripture.
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17
Integrity
Enthusiasm “His teacher not only taught the children, but also loved and prayed for each one. I am so grateful for the amazing year we had! “ - Berks Christian School Parent
Our students learn to be passionate about their work as well as about Christ. Students are nurtured in an environment of excellence that promotes excitement about learning and succeeding. Even more significantly, the BCS education encourages passion for Christ through chapels, Christian service opportunities, Bible classes, and the integration of a Biblical worldview into all courses of study. Our students also witness examples of enthusiasm in their teachers, all of whom are passionate about what they teach.
"The study of important and relevant core subjects, fundamental learning skills, and the concept of God-centered integrity at BCS has enabled many students to be successful on the path of life." - Berks Christian School Parent
The computer lab, the volleyball court, the chemistry classroom, the stage, the cooking kitchen‌ in all the places our students work, dedication is the key to success. BCS leads students toward lives of dedication in all they do by setting high standards and by providing the student-focused support they need to thrive and the experiences they need to learn conflict-resolution skills, teamwork, communication skills, and respect. Berks Christian School students graduate to lives as engineers, teachers, pastors, and doctors as a result of the commitment they learn at BCS.
Dedication
Creativity Berks Christian School students find varied avenues in which to express themselves. From art classes and music lessons to choir, drama, and band, the fine arts have a place in the school day of most students. For others, athletics provides a path to success and creativity. Berks Christian School offers boys soccer, girls volleyball, girls and boys basketball, and track for Middle School and High School students. Baseball for High School boys is also offered in the Spring. In academic work, original thinking is welcomed. Students are given opportunities to pursue further learning in areas that interest them, and faculty strive to uncover each student’s potential in the arena that most suits him or her.
The attention of a young person can be easily captured by the activities of a busy life, but the education provided at BCS aims to ground students in truth and turn their affections toward goals that honor Christ. Service requirements, weekly chapel, and training in Biblical disciplines provide students with a firm foundation on which to stand as they seek God’s purpose for their lives.
“You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit - fruit that will last.” John 15:16
Purpose
While the Preschool and Kindergarten students are learning letters and numbers, the seniors are completing college applications and scheduling SAT’s. At Berks Christian School, we know that both ends of the academic journey are equally important. All along the way, students make decisions that require a proper view of the world based on Biblical principles. At the heart of every interaction with a student is the teacher’s desire to instill in that student a love for the Lord to guide him or her toward decisions that please Him.
Discernment
“Berks Christian School teachers love the Lord. You can see it through their actions. They help us become better students, and also challenge us to strengthen our faith.� - Berks Christian School 11th grade student
