Mission

Dear Friends.

The Board of Trustees wishes to thank and to acknowledge all of you who have contributed to Berkeley Hall during the 2018-2019 school year. In addition to financial contributions, many of you have contributed your time, energy, creativity and ideas. All of this has helped make possible the wonderful activities that make a Berkeley Hall school year special. Our Board Advisory Council is particularly involved with big picture decisions for the school. Your gift of thoughtful guidance is very much appreciated.

There are many things I love about Berkeley Hall. The goal of creating “Fearless Scholars” and an ongoing love of learning are of particular interest. The school creates a nurturing environment encouraging the students to take risks, a key part of learning. Berkeley Hall provides opportunities for the children to grow and to step outside of their comfort zones and their areas of expertise. This gives them a sense of possibility and expanded opportunity. Berkeley Hall inspires a love of learning that continues to benefit our children long after they have left the classroom.

This past year the Board enlisted an architect to design a campus Master Plan. The new plan will support the school’s Strategic Plan and will guide us moving forward. The key question to be answered by a Master Plan is how can we provide attractive, functional learning spaces that will keep Berkeley Hall at the forefront of K-8 education. I’m grateful for parent, teacher, administrator and Board member involvement in the process.

Over many years, I have watched the school move forward with a thoughtful plan which continues to enhance the educational program, teacher development, and facilities. Please join me in continuing to support Berkeley Hall.

With gratitude,

Chair, Board of Trustees
