Overview
Freedom Christian Academy partners with parents to train students to love God and others, to serve, and to excel.
By maintaining a distinctively Christian atmosphere and approach to education, we teach each child to function as a Christian in a post-Christian world. We emphasize the Biblical truth that God has a special plan for every child, and it is our goal to develop the whole person-spiritually, academically, emotionally, socially, and physically.
We're accredited by the Association of Christian Schools International and AdvancEd (formerly SACS).
Berean Christian School is a family-friendly school, focused on readying its students for advanced education and for successful, Christian lives of leadership and service.
The school is, and has been for its 37 year history, a place where Knoxville-area families can turn for a quality education that includes the instilling of traditional Christian values and the fostering of a love for God in its students.
Berean has received full accreditation by both the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) for grades K-12.
