Berean established the annual promotion and graduation ceremony. It's an exciting way to formally recognize your students academic and spiritual achievements. We don't want you and your family to miss out on the experience of watching your graduate walk down the aisle in cap and gown to receive a diploma. If you plan on joining us please contact the office for more information and complete the graduation check list (below).

Preparing Certificates and Speaches
Graduates:
Students planning to graduate must write a short 3-5 paragraph speach summerizing the value of their homeschooling years. Students may wish to spend time acknowledging their parent/educator and their spirtual growth.
Parents with graduating students must prepare a short speech that will be read during a slide show presentation of your student. Parents will discuss the students growth both spirtually and academically during their homeschool experience. Example speeches can be sent to you upon request.
Promoting Students:
Parents with students promoting in to the next grade must prepare two certificates for each child (with the exception of a high school graduate). One awarded certificate will be granted on a spirtual or Godly character trait that your student has grown in throughout the year (i.e, kindness, helpfulness, generosity, etc...).
The other certificate will be awarded in the academic subject your child has excelled in over the past academic year (Mathematics, English, or more spesficially: Biology 101, Advanced Computers, etc...)
