As a parent, I couldn't be happier with how Bergman prioritizes the individuality of my child and her specific academic needs. She feels heard, valued, and yet she is challenged daily to be the most openminded version of herself. My only negative is that the school goes through 8th grade, but we are hopeful that a high school is in the near future.

I attended Bergman from Kindergarten through 8th grade. The small class sizes were a blessing and I felt safe and cared for by every one of my teachers. The academic foundation that I formed here has been incredibly beneficial to my life!

Bergman Academy is a place my children and our entire family love and feel grateful to have found. The setting is beautiful, bringing the outside in. The teachers are wonderful, challenge the kids at all times to do their best academically, and we feel like they know our kids as students and as people. We've been there for almost 6 years and our kids love going every day. It's open-minded and culturally aware—truly a special place.

Bergman has been a wonderful cho...

Small classroom size and very focused on the individual needs of each student. The best way I can describe this school is a gathering place of families who are passionate about a quality education. You put all of those people together in one place and you're surrounding your kids with other kids for...

My son is in his fourth year of attending Bergman Academy, and each year has been a wonderful experience. Small class sizes ensure he is truly known by his teacher and peers and also that he is receiving the differentiated instruction he needs to not only be successful but to exceed expectations. Th...
