Berwick Academy for grades PreK to 12

It's never too early (or too late) to look and learn more. Come experience our community in action by touring campus and staying for our student-run outdoor concert, Woofstock. Enjoy our complimentary BBQ beginning at 4:30 p.m. Tours will take approximately 30 minutes and leave on the quarter hour. This is a great opportunity to see our campus, experience our community, and learn about our newest initiatives including the Walsh Wellness Center, the new Inspiration Commons, and Curriculum 2020.

This is a very casual and fun event that will allow you to experience our dynamic community at its best. If anything, just come to enjoy our student performers and a free BBQ!

RSVP's are appreciated but not required. Contact Admissions at 207.384.6301 or admissions@berwickacademy.org for more information.

Berwick is a leading academic institution preparing students from Pre-K to grade 12 to find their passions. Our innovative approach to student-directed learning that is both rigorous and balanced, ensures that students come to school each day engaged in their academic, arts, and athletics opportunities.

Our PK-4 Lower School promotes a joy of learning from a very young age. Lower Schoolers are exposed to the Mandarin and Spanish languages and cultures from age 3, are able to explore coding and robotics in technology and science classes, and create a sense of self through Yoga 4 Classrooms within their homeroom experience. Our youngest students are exposed to a balanced education from the very beginning, and a strong emphasis on character education is instilled on a daily basis.

Our grade 5-8 Middle School promotes a culture where students can take risks to learn and grow, be it through performance, delving into a world language, trying a new sport, building something in the Makerspace, or examining an issue from a new perspective, all the while feeling confident that they will be celebrated for taking that risk and supported if they encounter challenges along the way.

Our grade 9-12 Upper School provides a college prep experience that allows students to stand out in the college process and find their passions. Our competitive athletics and arts programs allow students to go on to meaningful college experiences in their sport or art of choice. Innovative approaches to teaching and learning make the overall Berwick experience both challenging and unique.
