The Berkeley School
prepares kids for the future.

We can’t predict the future. We can predict that the adults of tomorrow will need to solve problems that don’t exist yet.

Our goal is to teach our kids how to think for themselves; to think about how to look for answers without a guide or map; to think differently about problems – differently even than the way they were taught here.

Our curriculum is demanding. But it’s not based on passing a test. It’s based on thought, inquiry and high expectations. We blend those with fun, individualized instruction and the best ideas in progressive education.
