School History
Overview
Southwide Academy has provided a quality, individualized academic program to the Western Communities since 1975.
We are a ministry of Crestwood Baptist Church. Our Christian school was established to offer a solid Christian foundation, coupled with a solid academic foundation, to all of its students, preparing them to successfully face an ever-changing world.
The philosophy responsible for our beginning has never wavered through the years.
God created each person a unique individual with certain strengths and weaknesses.
We believe that every student should be approached as an individual.
Not every child processes information at the same rate or in the same manner.
We believe our approach of individualized instruction best meets the goal of enabling all students to enjoy academic success.
Berean Christian School is a college preparatory school that has been serving the western Palm Beach communities with excellence in education since 1964.
Berean offers quality education with spiritual emphasis, a strong athletic program, and reasonable tuition.
BCS has nearly 745 students ranging in age from our 2 year old preschoolers to our high school seniors.
BCS is building for the future by the addition of a thiving ESE program as well as a STEM Program.
BCS is fully accredited by ACSI, a member of Christian Schools of Palm Beach County, and FHSAA.
