Subject offerings at Beerwah State High School are organised around nine faculties. Each of these faculties is led by a Head of Department who is responsible for the quality of teaching, learning and assessment within their area of responsibility.
Beerwah State High School offers three specialist programs: Athletics Extension Program, Music Extension Program and in 2012, an iLearn Program. In 2017, a "bring your own device" program was introduced. The program still runs in Semester 2 of 2019 and usage of the network is slowly increasing across the school.

Beerwah State High School is a member of the Glass House Coalition of State Schools, a partnership between schools in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland area designed to ensure the adequate preparation of all local students for entry into the high school as well as ensuring that the students are on a "level playing field" when it comes to what they learned during primary school. This system of education was recognised formally in 2004, when the Coalition received a State Showcase award for Excellence in the Middle Phase of Learning. Partnering Schools:
