History
Established in 2002.
Cochise Community Development Corporation DBA Berean Academy emerged as a 501(c)(3) non-profit in 2002. The journey started modestly, offering K-8th grade classes on the Celebration Chapel Foursquare Church Campus. Each year, we added an extra grade, constantly pushing the envelope of educational excellence. It blossomed into a K-12th grade Education Center, but with growth came challenges.
We impacted lives and thirsted to inspire more, but needed a larger space. Just as we thought we had exhausted all options, a well-dressed gentleman who read about Berean Academy from a national publication decided to visit the school.
Moved beyond words and recognizing the potential, he built us a new state-of-the-art facility. By 2010, this unexpected philanthropy came to life, marking a monumental shift for the future of our school. As envisioned, Berean Academy bloomed on our stunning new campus.
Since then, we've become an accredited, tuition-free, K-12th public charter school.
