Berkwood Hedge School is an independent K-5 elementary school with a deep commitment to a challenging academic program. Guided by our developmental philosophy, we see children as competent, articulate, and curious individuals who learn by doing. Our teachers excel at bringing social and academic learning together in emotionally safe classroom environments. Curriculum is designed to help students ask questions about society, examine popular culture, and think critically. Social justice and service learning activities are integrated throughout the academic program.
