I’ve had an amazing experience with Berkeley Academy. I have recently started working as a 4th grade teacher and have been welcomed with open arms by the staff and students. My fellow teachers and the admin staff have been extremely supportive during my on-boarding period. I can not wait to see what my future at Berkeley Academy holds!

A través de mi vida, yo he estado en diferentes escuelas, en diferentes países del mundo. Y nunca he estado en una escuela con mejores valores y nivel académico, como el que tiene Berkeley Academy. Estos 4 años han sido los mejores de mi vida, y todo ha sido gracias a está maravillosa escuela, ya que he aprendido cosas que probablemente no aprenderé en otro lugar. Además de esto tambien me ha brindado amigos que recordaré por toda vida. Solo queria decir gracias por todo a está magnifica institución, espero que los años que me quedan como académico, sean aqui y no en otra escuela.

Estoy apunto de cumplir mis 2 anos en este academia, con el tiempo que he estado en esta institución he sido bendecido de unas grandes oportunidades y apoyos para poder tener un exitoso futuro. Puedo decir que no he estado en una mejor escuela que en realidad me a ayudo física y mentalmente.

Berkeley Academy never ceases to amaze me with its opportunities. I've only been in this school for a very short time, and I already feel as though I was granted so many opportunities. Last summer vacation I was granted the NSLC program, which allowed me to go to an Ivy League college for a few weeks and study the major that I’m passionate about, I also got a feel of what it would be like to live in the dorms, and made new friendships along the way. It is honestly a privilege to be a part of this school and thrive as a student. I couldn’t be prouder to be a part of the Berkeley Academy family.

Having spent about 10 year before at CDS, Berkeley academy showed to me how much more a good school can help in improving as a student. Although the building is rather small (in comparison of CDS) it makes going to each class rather fast while not feeling cramped and is in a much better location as now it only takes me a couple minutes to get to campus in comparison to CDS taking about 20 minutes on a good day without a lot of traffic. Although the teacher are more demanding than other school, it makes learning more interesting and really felt challenging in a way that wasn’t unfair. And makes getting a good score feel more rewarded for putting the time in and giving up some free time. All the staff and faculty are very friendly and supporting and have really helped me improve as a student. Having the Ap and Sat as options are very nice to have to really get into those top tier universities and the Ap program in general is really nice to really push myself in my abilities of what I can actually do. Berkeley Academy has been an absolute great experience and I do really feel proud to be in this school.
