[edit] History

Beren was founded in 1969 as the South Texas Hebrew Academy; the original campus was located at South Braeswood at Chimney Rock. In 1980 the school was renamed to simply Hebrew Academy. In 1988 the school was renamed to Robert M. Beren Academy after the Isabel Henry Beren Foundation donated to the school.

In 1999, after a six billion United States dollar capital campaign, the school moved into its current (as of 2006) 54,000 square foot campus at 11333 Cliffwood.
