to offer education to all, regardless of race or gender.

Yes, I love that school. A family member and adopted family member graduated from there. Berea has an eco-village, landscaping that is edible, and they provide opportunities for kids who would never get a chance otherwise. A graduation there is a thing to behold.

It's the best school in the South, IMO
