The Berkeley School: K-8 Open House
The Berkeley School is a preschool through 8th grade independent school with two campuses located along University Avenue. Founded on Montessori principles, TBS believes education starts with respect for the child, engagement through choice, and experiential learning with real world applications.
At The Berkeley School, students develop a foundation of connection, compassion, and the ability to be confident in the world. By combining hands-on classroom learning with local and international civic engagement, our students develop a feeling of interdependence and understanding that what they do matters.
Open House events are held during school hours. Guided by student ambassadors, visitors will explore the campus before joining classrooms to observe our child-centered teaching in action. RSVP required to attend.
