Who we are

Welcome

Thank you for your interest in Berkwood Hedge School. We are an independent K-8 school with lower and upper school campuses located in the Downtown and historic Northside neighborhoods of Berkeley. A leader in social and environmental justice issues, we are well known for a hands-on curriculum that promotes deep and intuitive learning. A solid and enduring core philosophy - a rich academic and arts program, close ties between families and school, and a strong sense of community - are the hallmarks of a Berkwood Hedge education.  When we help children grow into their unique selves without growing up too quickly, they develop clarity and conviction for the future, yet still enjoy being children today.  A lifetime of learning begins at Berkwood Hedge School.

Come see for yourself what makes our school so special and such a thriving learning environment.
