Both of my kiddos attend Berkeley Hall School and we are absolutely IN LOVE with the school! From the teachers to the administrators to the entire community created...is HOME. Go Bobcats forever! read more

We so loved this school. Kind and welcoming, no bullying, a beautiful campus, excellent Principal and teachers. A place where children can blossom in an atmosphere of good values. read more

I went to this school from 5-8th grade. I was being horribly abused by my foster mom and I finally reported it to a teacher. Mrs. Reicher I think was her name. She immediately called my foster mom to see if the allegations were true. (Of course she denied) That night I went home and she beat me for saying anything. I was begging for help. This is how they handled it. I eventually got "uninvited" back because I became resistant and resented everyone there. The kids were spoiled and bullies. I will never forget that experience. Thank you BHS! read more

Well well where to start!!! Maybe with "Save your Money"? At first when you see the campus itself you probably gonna love it because to be honest it is beautiful, with huge soccer field and swimming pool and nice view.... But don't get fool by the cover! It has very small size of students like VERY small, 16 students in the whole 6th grade which is so unreal, we wanted the small environment for our daughter (but not this small, we've been lied to) but imagine if there are only 6 girls are in the whole grade and 2 of them be a bully!!! Our daughter stuck with them and the devastating part is that as much as we informed the whole school from the parents to teachers and principal, nobody DID ANYTHING absolutely nothing about it, so God forbid if that happens to your kid just be prepared that you paid $50k plus with ZERO support! Who's gonna do that? I think their very LOW numbers say it all, there is a reason otherwise they would have enough students even on waitlist same as other private schools, I am not exaggerating and just trying to warn anyone who's thinking to send their kids there, save your time, money and most importantly your kid's mental health. STEP AWAY from this school read more

Amazing all around! Their staff, students and parents are all a dream! I'm so happy we transferred from the nightmare we experienced with the last school! read more

BHS is the best kept secret in Los Angeles! My son just graduated from the 8th grade. It is such a good school that my daughter will be starting Kindergarten there. The school has the nurturing environment that any parent would want for a child. The faculty and staff go above and beyond to ensure your child has a well-rounded education, while remaining a conscientious citizen. Overall, BHS is a hidden gem that creates opportunities for personal development and empowerment in its students. The students have a great display of intelligence, respect, and high levels of self-efficacy. If you are looking for a K-8 school, look no further! ~ Dr. P. read more

We love Berkeley Hall! The campus environment itself cannot be captured with words, it is just gorgeous. The curriculum is balanced and makes learning exciting. But what makes the school great is the community. Amazing teachers, parents and kids come together with passion and love. Couldn't ask for a better place to raise my daughter. read more

I'm amazed by this school. I was desperately seeking a school for my son because a year of isolation is too much! That said, nothing felt safe to me during the pandemic. Not only does this school have 66 acres of beautiful land in the hills, they are truly taking all the precautions and they have the flexibility to move everything to zoom at any moment. Some children are learning exclusively through zoom. It gives me great comfort that they provide testing on campus and require a negative test for everyone on campus. The classes are in small pods. Classrooms are huge! My son has 2 big classrooms to use! They have an incredible team with core teachers & a separate teacher for each of the following: Spanish, Art (with an award winning art teacher), Music, Drama, and Innovation Lab. These teachers are projected into the kids main room over the smart board & can see the whole class and interact with them in addition to the kids home on zoom. It's diverse and they celebrate & support all cultures, ethnicities & religions. Students learn to treat one another with respect, compassion, honesty and to become responsible human beings. My child is out running the fields, spending time outside in the mountains, sometimes spotting squirrels & even deer! He's gardening regularly in their huge class garden. He's making new friends easily. He is so happy every day and on the weekends he wakes up early begging to go to school. He's very disappointed to learn that it's the weekend. We couldn't be happier. read more

My son has been at this school for 10 years now. He is going to be in 8th grade next year so he's a "LIFER!!" Love the teachers, administration and the students are fantastic! The campus is gorgeous and nicely maintained. There couldn't be a more beautiful campus then Berkeley Hall School! So glad we made the decision to send our son here. I am going to seriously miss this school when he finishes 8th Grade! We had a lot of great and happy memories here and with the help of this school I am positive he will get into a great high school! Very nurturing and an overall positive experience! Thank you! :) read more

Amazing school! My daughter looks forward to meeting her teachers and schoolmates everyday. Head of school and Administration are the best around! Parents and families are genuinely warm and kind. We love Berkeley Hall School! read more

Amazing and incredible school! I am floored at what the other person wrote! My daughter is in the 8th grade and this is her 2nd year at Berkeley Hall. There isn't enough time in my day to write ALL of the WONDERFUL things about this school!!! From the teachers, to the staff, to the academics - all AMAZING! Even the lady at the front desk!!! She's always helpful and I have never experienced any sort of a problem from ANY aspect of the school. My only problem with the school is wishing that it went thru the 12th grade so my daughter wouldn't have to leave!!!! read more

I absolutely love Berkeley Hall. The teachers and administration staff are fantastic, the principal is the most caring principal you can find, and kids have so many choices in terms of what activities and sports they can do. My daughter started this year, she is in 5th grade and couldn't be happier. It's the second year for my son. They know your kids really well, and they treat them with lots of patience and love. I wish I had sent my kids sooner to the school, but I am grateful they get to experience what this great school has to offer. Roxana read more

My family moved from Africa to Los Angeles. Moves are always difficult and adding a distant continent ranks the difficulty very high. My priority was settling my son who in his short academic career , had experienced British and Kenyan curriculum and now adding American to the list. He entered Berkeley Hall in the 5th grade. The beginning was rocky as expected, but I have only seen my son shine brighter each year. I appreciate the protective and caring environment he is in. Because it is a small community of children, all teachers and administrators interact and get to know all the children at some point. I appreciate the exposure that my son receives to different workshops, projects, class trips. Every year different grades have a class trip that increases their stay away from home. Year 5 spent the night at the Long Beach Aquarium, Year 6 had a 2- night stay on Catalina Island. I am grateful that his 5th grade and now 6th grade class is one of the most diverse at the school, even to find students with African heritage as himself. However, we just got lucky, and hope the school will continue to strive for a more diverse student body including teaching staff. The boys in the class are very close. Somehow as if spending time at school is not enough, they are constantly arranging for play dates too on the weekends! I feel very fortunate to be a part of the Berkeley Hall Community. read more

I would give Berkeley Hall more stars if possible. Dr. Staley is an incredible head of school and the teachers are incredible. My son started at BHS in 6th grade and just graduated 8th grade. He not only excelled academically but socially and was accepted to every high school he applied to. My daughter just completed her 6th grade year and also had a wonderful first year. Most importantly, Dr. Staley and the entire staff, administration as well as every teacher truly fulfill the school's mission recognizing each individual child's unlimited God-given potential, the cornerstone of BHS's mission. If this school went on to 12th grade, my children would never leave. I feel incredibly blessed to have found this school. Thank you, thank you, thank you Berkeley Hall. As the last line of the school song says, "Through it all, I'll remember Berkeley Hall." read more

BHS is one of four private schools that we have experienced (three kids, two job moves.) and what really stands out is how MUCH they care about every child. The teachers, admin and staff treat these children with patience and respect and love, always. The positive lessons our kids have learned go far beyond the classroom and we are very appreciative to have found such a wonderful place. Go Bobcats! read more

True quality education. Excellent faculty. Very capable and knowledgeable administration. Always moving in a positive direction.

Read review of people who had fantastic results from years at BHS. We have this school as a complete part of all 3 children's attendance we began on the Swall Drive Campus. Our children began in the very first mommy and me then on to 3 year nursery up to 8th grade with children 12 years apart we were there a very long time. Some of the current teachers even went to this school. It established not only the education needs of children but more important the character. Appreciation, respect and valuing each day and experience. Our children have all said the quality friends they had there are the lasting ones. They have all became a success in different paths of life and work. We are grateful that this school exists it's produces successful artists, Brilliant students, wonderful parents, and years of quality education. It's a school that makes an effort to not label a child but to see their value and perfection right now. In other words they begin the day to see your child with the same love and joy that you do . That's unique and amazing and why this school stands as a huge part of many families life. read more

We have been at Berkeley Hall School for more than 15 years and have raised our three children there. We are so appreciative, not only of the great education, but the supportive community and wonderful character development. We are only sad that our time at BHS is coming to an end! read more

The new Head of School (5 years) has instituted a program called Depth of Study and the academic program has gone from really good to outstanding - solid data supports the "talk" about it. Very impressive teachers who walk the talk and really do see each student's God-given potential as the mission states. Warm, helpful, professional staff (not sure what the other reviewer was talking about since the front desk is a very-together young woman.) read more

One of the best decisions I ever made was to apply to Berkeley Hall for my then 2 year old daughter. Now 10 years later I can say our family is very grateful for the love and education Berkeley Hall has given our daughter. She has grown into a young lady who has found her voice, uncovered her passions and has always felt safe and secure on a stunning campus. Plus she has life long friends and I have found my sisters for life in the parents. There are many ways to volunteer and get involved at every grade level. Berkeley Hall is not just a school to us/ it is our family that we uncovered as one of the best surprises of living in Los Angeles, which is a city neither my husband or I grew up in. Next year she will graduate and I am trying to figure out how I can remain connected to Berkeley Hall. For those who desire a safe environment with loving teachers, a well rounded academic program to include the arts, sports teams, and a welcoming community for parents and students- Berkeley Hall is everything and more! read more
