The strong and positive bonds between teachers and students are the cornerstone of a Berkeley Carroll education. We value your family considering our school for your rising scholar.
We recognize that finding a school community that is the best match for your young scholar to develop relationships, to expand their knowledge, and to thrive as a student is a challenging undertaking. As a team, we look forward to partnering with you and we approach this responsibility with dedication and zeal. We are delighted to share information about our academic program, devoted faculty, diverse community, and innovative mission.
