Short Description: Information Sessions are designed to provide a more teacher-centered, experiential perspective of The Berkeley School. We will focus more directly on the curriculum of TBS, learning outcomes, and how we teach--the Academics. This is experienced through mini-lessons and demonstrations from TBS faculty who teach at the K & 1st grade level. Middle School families will experience hands on mini-lessons with our middle school team. Classroom Observations are followed by a discussion with current parents. You will also have an opportunity to hear briefly from our Head of School, Mitch Bostian.
