Berkeley Hall School

All of my children have attended this school since nursery. They have not only had a wonderful academic experience, but have been nurtured and supported in having good values and good characters. Our oldest child was accepted to all three high schools he applied to and is thriving academically and socially. We have had a wonderful experience at Berkeley Hall.

I have been a student at Berkeley Hall since Kindergarten. The teachers have never failed to teach me and support me through everything and we could not have asked for a better headmaster. We have science, art, wood shop, music, physical education, and drama in addition to many core subjects. I have never wanted to go to another school, and don not intend to until I graduate. Berkeley Hall has given me so much!

Berkeley Hall School has given us more than we could ever have dreamed of. Lured initially by the beautiful 66 acre campus, we have been delighted and inspired by the high level of teaching and genuine warmth and love that the teachers convey to the kids. Our 3 children have been at the school for 5 years and are thriving academically, socially and physically. They love their school, their teachers and class-mates. BHS focuses on the development of each individual as a whole and while teaching a demanding curriculum, reinforces the importance of morality, social skills and mutual respect. The kids are happy, well-adjusted and therefore free to focus on learning. The classes have a good teacher-pupil ratio and are culturally and socially diverse. There is a fantastic after-school program and a strong, competitive athletic program. Our daughters have learned to be real team-players in soccer, swim team and volleyball. Parents are highly involved, their enthusiasm contagious which enriches the sense of community. It's a privilege to be there.

I am a veteran public school teacher and Berkeley Hall is the best school I have ever seen. My son transferred there this year and I can't find anything but goodness at this school. The curriculum is outstanding as are the teachers. They care about your child in every way. Academics are important but so is character and kindness. I would recommend this school above all others for an excellent and well-rounded education

I am amazed at the exceptional educational experience my grandchildren are receiving at Berkeley Hall School! Academicaly, socially, emotionaly and physically, they are challenged, supported, praised and rewarded. But best of all, is the self-confidence they have developed in these children - not an arrogant self-conficence, but true, accurate and balanced self-confidence. Thank you, Berkeley Hall!

i love this school! it is amazing the teachers are amazing specially the junior high teachers! I just love this school!

Antiquated methods and teachers who are not in touch with each child's specific needs, which is what they preach when you are inquiring about the school. Not a big pool of Christian Science teachers to pick from, leading to mediocre teachers who are either really old or who don't have a strong teaching background. A new Admissions Councelor is set on filling up each classroom with no regard to the teacher/student ratio. Campus is big and beautiful, but the buildings are crammed into each other with no cafeteria and some of the grades having to play on the blacktop of the parking lot in the mornings and after school. Great parental involvement. Great school for teaching good morals and ethics to your kids, which is quite important as well, but don't believe they will be getting a top notch education.

Eureka! Finally a school that gets it. It is about helping your kids learn, and fostering their love of learning. Our son has attended 7th grade here and wow what a difference from his other school. The teachers are genuinely interested in him, and make exceptional effort to help him with all of his studies. He is enthusiastic about learning again. As to concepts he needs extra time to learn, he gets all the help he needs. As to those he excels at, he is prompted to learn more. The focus is not on just running him through the curriculum, but on teaching him so he can learn to the best of his ability. They take him beyond the curriculum. They are also very focused on developing his character as a person, and citizen. The administration is very effective and efficient. The campus is incredible. You have to see it! Amazing!

My kids have been at BHS since the early childhood years and have loved going to school almost (!) every day of the last 8 years. We've seen a lot of growth at the school in the last couple years in particular. It's no longer the best kept secret in LA ! Teachers are caring and engaging and really strive to bring out the best in students, the academic program is constantly progressing, the athletic program is growing with BHS teams competing and winning (!) against other big-name schools, and cultural diversity is a huge plus. One of the best parts of the school are the grounded families who are not afraid to choose a school that helps kids achieve success and still be kids.
