It being both my first year at Berwick and my graduating year, I had a pretty good experience. One of the things that I think was the most helpful was all of the help I received preparing for college. Having a required class on writing your college essay is a great idea, and it made me get it done. Another great thing was how willing the college counselors were to help and push you in the right direction. One con was that they weren't really putting their money to good use. I would just be a bit more mindful as to where the money goes

Excellent school. Teachers are very committed, attentive and caring. The entire staff is focused on the wellbeing and success of each child. The facilities are extraordinary and students are exposed to a variety of activities and experiences. We are so happy with our decision and our child is flourishing. Super-big thank you to the entire staff, especially Mrs. Lorden and Ms. Bishop.

Berwick has been an incredible place for our two daughters to learn. They're thriving academically in the small class sizes and with the support to help them along the way. The overall school community is inclusive and kind and a true joy to be a part of. As a Berwick Academy alum myself, I'm thrilled to have my children at the school that helped me grow into the woman I am today. The division-wide programs and cross-division opportunities are just one-of-a-kind.

Our child's learning environment is rather poor based on their feedback and if you don't "tow the line" exactly, they will ostracize you and your child. The individual teachers seem caring and...

As an alum and now BA parent, I could not be happier with the experiences my family has had at Berwick. Our daughters are thriving, learning, and deeply connected to the welcoming BA community. The teachers are on the whole kind, open to communication, and helpful when our kids are struggling. The s...

Berwick Academy supported and enhanced our child experience from Day 1. Coming from Canada, it was a big step for our family. Our child and ourselves felt welcomed and supported from the start- we felt we were part of a great community, a second family. Teachers and other students took our child und...
