School Reviews

5 3/3/2023

We have been at The Berkeley School since my children were at the Early Childhood Center. This is the jewel of East Bay independent schools. Everyone puts the child at the center of everything. My daughter jumps out of the car each day to roll into school. Every adult on campus knows her name. The education and learning are so strong - my children know how to approach learning and understand what they are learning and multiple strategies to obtain the answer. Don't sleep at this school because your children will be missing out.
