The Berkeley School
Founded in 1963, The Berkeley School is an independent, progressive pre-K through 8th grade school located on two campuses in the heart of Berkeley. TBS fulfills its mission (to ignite curious minds, awaken generous hearts, and engage a changing world) through hiring, developing, and retaining exceptional teachers who innovate to meet the intellectual, academic, social, and emotional needs of children in the context of both on- and off-campus learning environments. Filtered through the lens of civic engagement, students’ academic experience is intertwined with their social and emotional development. Alongside a strong curriculum are key conflict-resolution opportunities, empathy-developing role playing and student-led community campaigns, all of which reinforce that what matters in education matters in life.
