Meet Miss Atwood
Dignity, charm, and sympathetic viewpoint are the essentials of true gentility; we dedicate our yearbook to the epitome of all three.
Miss Atwood
The Berkeley Institute Class of 1945
In her 30-year tenure as Headmistress of the Berkeley Institute, Ina Clayton Atwood shepherded her students and colleagues through times of enormous change, here in Brooklyn and across the globe.
Through the Great Depression and both World Wars, and with quick-shifting social climates and school budgets, Miss Atwood made sure that her students’ education was both a constant and a means of moving forward, together: rooted in history, conscious of current events, and facing a future made better by Berkeley Institute women.
Overseeing a transformative expansion of the Lincoln Place campus, including a brand-new gymnasium, a series of enhancements to the School’s curriculum, and the implementation of an annual “Grand Tour of Europe” for graduating seniors, Miss Atwood’s gifts of improvement, innovation, and global citizenship are deeply felt and celebrated at Berkeley Carroll today.
