School Notes Overview: |
Berkshire Christian School is committed to the mission of classical Christian education. Berkshire Christian School aspires to do just three things—our goal is to teach students to read, write, and reason, and to do that within the classical tradition, guided by the light of Scripture, the greatest books ever written, an exemplary math curriculum, and an effective phonics-based reading approach. The mission of Berkshire Christian School is to offer an excellent academic education informed by the truth of Christ. The staff of BCS endeavors to help students achieve academic proficiency and a thorough understanding of the Christian worldview; cultivate personal Christian faith within each student; challenge students to develop moral integrity by adopting scriptural standards of achievement and behavior; affirm the God-given dignity and potential of each student; and integrate parental involvement in the mission of the school. At Berkshire Christian School, students have the opportunity to receive a complete K-8 education, as they study a curriculum established on the truth of Christ. They are encouraged to participate and grow in their local churches. And each student's family is encouraged to be active in the life of the school.
