Our History
Berean Christian School was established in 1964 as the school ministry of Berean Christian Church, which is now known as Grace Fellowship Church. Originally, our campus was in Eastern West Palm Beach, but we moved to our current campus in 1986. We have been a cornerstone of Christian education for 60 years and have many families who have been with us throughout multiple generations. As the church ministry of Grace Fellowship Church, our focus is to support our students in becoming the individuals that God created them to be. This is done by knowing our students not as a number or statistic but as a unique individual created by God and thus created for his purposes.
Our Mission
Berean Christian School exists in partnership with parents and the local church to empower students to walk as Jesus walked, enrich them with academics enveloped in a Biblically based Christian worldview, and help them experience their God-given and unique giftedness for success in the future.
Where does the name Berean come from?
The Bereans were of more noble character... for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the scriptures every day. Acts 17:11
