A Program for Academics and Enrichment
Junior High is a time students take more responsibility for their own learning. Classes increase in challenge and participation. Berea strives to support these students as they mature into young adults.
Each subject is being led by a Berea teacher who loves their topic, bringing enthusiasm and expertise to the students. Classes meet once a week, requiring students to complete work at home to be successful in the classroom.
Enrollment in Junior High programming is per individual class. See individual class listing to view tuition, books, and materials.

Lunch is 11:30 am – 12:25 pm
Second Session is 12:30 pm – 2:00 pm
