Discipline

Until 2018, the school's website included a page called "school philosophy" which said that it "believes the Bible teaches the use of corporal punishment in the discipline of young people. Staff are instructed to use the paddle whenever necessary", however, this is a rare happening.[10] That page has now gone, but the application form for international high-school students still requires parents to agree that "Briarwood Christian School has full discretion in the discipline of students while at the School, including paddling".[11]

In 2017, the school's sponsor, the Briarwood Presbyterian Church, petitioned the state of Alabama to charter its own police force.[12]

“After the shooting at Sandy Hook and in the wake of similar assaults at churches and schools, Briarwood recognized the need to provide qualified first responders to coordinate with local law enforcement." Matt Moore, church administrator

That year, the bill died in the legislature, but in 2019, HB 309 passed and was signed into law by Governor Kay Ivey.[13]

In 2015, the Shelby County Sheriff's Office raided the high school campus after receiving multiple tips about student involvement in a local drug ring.[14] Several students were expelled and one was arrested.
