The Bearden School District participates in the Arkansas Public School Choice Act 1227 of 2013. This Act allows students, under certain conditions, to transfer to another school district other than the district in which they live. The Bearden District is accepting applications from outside its boundaries. Bearden Schools provide a quality education that helps prepare its students for the 21^st Century. All campuses provide attractive, clean facilities with qualified teachers. Each campus provides great student-teacher interaction, clubs, extra-curricular activities, numerous academic programs, incentives, and field trips. All campuses have state-of-the-art computer labs. Bearden High School offers 4 AP courses, four college concurrent credit courses, vocational courses, and continues to offer the state’s first college program where college English/Math courses are being offered to all eligible Bearden seniors on SAU Tech’s campus for college courses and remedial college courses during the school day. These programs have allowed Bearden High School Students to earn 12—18hrs of college credit between their 10^th—12^th grade year and saved parents over $120,000 in tuition and transportation fees. Extra-curricular activities include an excellent band and choir program, and a competitive sports program for girls and boys. The District has also assisted students by providing the majority of their school supplies for the past three years. For a student to transfer to Bearden School District from another district, parents must submit an (School Choice Act of 2013 form) by June 1^st.
