#BAccepted

Congratulations on your acceptance to Berwick Academy! Welcome to our unique and innovative Upper School community, where you will be surrounded by like-minded peers who are empowered to create their own experience on the Hilltop.

We know that Berwick is the right place for you and your family as you embark on a new Upper School journey. Berwick students graduate with the useful knowledge needed to successfully navigate the ever changing world. Our unique-to-Berwick academic options—including Innovation Pursuits, Pinnacle courses, and Pathways programs—provide students with opportunities for deep exploration in their individual areas of interest, setting them apart from their peers as they prepare to launch into the next chapter of their education and lives. In your time on the Hilltop, you will collaborate, innovate, and be challenged while receiving support and encouragement from your classmates and teachers. We can’t wait to see what you will accomplish in your Berwick career!

Whether you’re still thinking about your options or you know you’ll be joining us this fall, we strongly encourage you to strengthen your family’s understanding of Berwick through the following opportunities:
