School Notes:
Berkeley Carroll is an independent, college preparatory day school providing coeducational programs for children in prekindergarten through grade 12. The Berkeley Carroll School is a dynamic community sustained by a passion for learning where the relationship between student and teacher is paramount. We offer students a stimulating and rigorous program in the liberal arts and sciences, the creative arts, and physical education. Teachers create learning experiences that foster intellectual curiosity and imagination grounded in disciplined study. Students find their individual voice through open discussion, independent thought, respectful dissent, and the pursuit of new challenges. Berkeley Carroll strives to be a diverse place where everyone is encouraged to participate, everyone is cared for, and belief in and respect for one another are fundamental. We value integrity, kindness, and understanding. The school maintains a strong relationship with parents, whose involvement is actively sought and appreciated. Berkeley Carroll is committed to the highest standards of ethical behavior.

School Reviews:
October 06,2012 - My daughter transferred here in high school after attending an Upper East Side elementary/middle school. The transition was seamless. The courses remain rigorous and intellectually challenging (and the offerings are wide-ranging), but the atmosphere is more relaxed and grounded. We couldn''t be happier.*-Posted by Parent *
