Berkwood Hedge is an independent Kindergarten through fifth grade elementary school. We are located in central Berkeley and make use of the rich community and educational resources available throughout the Bay Area.
Mission
Berkwood Hedge School provides a hands-on developmental curriculum that promotes deep and intuitive learning. Students achieve academic excellence by becoming critical thinkers and creative problem solvers. Our teachers meet the needs of every child, inspiring a joy of learning, academic success, intellectual excitement, emotional well-being and creativity. Students leave Berkwood Hedge prepared for success in middle school and beyond.
Our small cooperative community of students, families and educators share a commitment to preserving the environment and promoting social justice within both the school culture and the larger community. We are committed to strengthening diversity of all types, including cultural, ethnic, racial, learning style, economic, gender and family structure.
