Berkwood Hedge School: Registration for Information Sessions are now Open!
Registration is open for our Online Information Sessions.

During the session, families will hear from a few of our core teachers about our educational philosophy and curriculum. These sessions are a great first step in getting to know our school and understanding what sets us apart prior to registering for a tour.
