As the only independent Pre-K through 8th grade program in the East Bay and Berkeley’s first Montessori program founded in 1963, we offer an unparalleled educational experience for children from two through Middle School.
Our 60+years of inclusive, progressive, educational excellence ensures that every child is seen, supported, and known – the essential foundation to spark exceptional learning and self-confidence now and for the future. We provide tailored academic acceleration and support in a joyous, welcoming atmosphere of care for each other, our planet, and our community.
We invite you to take a closer look at how The Berkeley School seeks and nurtures every child’s unique learning potential.
