Dear Berkeley Academy Parents, Students, Families and Friends:

Happy New Year! We hope that you all had a wonderful and restful Winter Break! As we usher in a new year, Yorlenny and I wanted to share exciting news regarding our senior class and their outstanding achievements. While we wait for students’ Regular Decision notices to arrive this Spring, six seniors already received Early Action/Decision notices to their top choices.

Matias CurutchetTulane University | Intended Major: Business Administration, Finance (14% acceptance rate)

Owen McBrideCase Western Reserve University | Intended Major: Business Marketing (23% acceptance rate)

Agustin RodriguezUniversity of Miami | Intended Major: Computer Science – Cybersecurity (18.9% acceptance rate)

Milagro RodriguezBoston College | Intended Major: Psychology (15.9% acceptance rate)

Alex SergiNortheastern University | Intended Major: International Business (Ranked #10 in International Business programs; 5.2% acceptance rate)

Nicolas SolanoCornell University | Intended Major: Zoology (Ranked #11 Overall; 7.5% acceptance rate)

We are incredibly proud of their results; however, what makes us even prouder is the integrity, discipline and hard work they maintained throughout the most rigorous year of their academic journeys. Not many programs in Central America, or in the world for that matter, provide the opportunity for students to pursue their academic passions at these world-class institutions of higher learning.  There is more exciting news to be heard, so please stay tuned!

We hope to continue this legacy of excellence in 2025 with your support and commitment to our community.

GO PRIDE!

Very respectfully yours,

Peter J. Swing
