Athletics
Athletics enriches the lives of Berkeley students. Approximately 80 percent of our 6th through 12th grade students compete in interscholastic sports. This creates a climate of teamwork, cooperation, and sportsmanship that encourages students to develop new skills and talents, often with dramatic results.
The combination of sound coaching, hard work, talent, and academic preparation has allowed our students to garner varsity roster spots from dozens of colleges and universities including Harvard, Dartmouth, Cornell, Duke, Elon, Notre Dame, Southern Methodist, Tufts, North Carolina-Chapel Hill, Michigan, Ohio State, Rutgers, Northwestern, Florida State University, the University of Florida, Kansas State University, Carneg-Mellon, and the University of Alabama.
