A Message from the Dean of Academic Affairs

Berkshire’s academic program is firmly rooted in an exceptional college preparatory curriculum that features a wealth of advanced and AP courses across all disciplines. In addition, unique opportunities to excel in math/science research, student-directed independent study, and electives in science, history, and fine arts allow students to pursue advanced study at Berkshire with distinctive results. As creative and agile problem solvers, strong critical thinkers, persuasive communicators, and active global citizens, they confidently enter the ever-changing 21st century equipped with the skills required to excel. In short, Berkshire’s balance between academic rigor and possibility is unique and allows our students to flourish as independent learners, as community members, and as professionals. Berkshire’s experienced and talented faculty is our greatest resource. They continually challenge and inspire our students to draw upon their full academic talents and intellectual gifts. The recently renovated Berkshire Hall is an unparalleled teaching resource and features modern classrooms, state-of-the-art academic technology, and well-designed study spaces. At the top of Buck Valley, it stands as an enduring symbol of the School’s commitment to its students. The momentum across all corners of Berkshire’s campus is echoed loudly in our academic program and gives our students every reason to look forward to the next century with great confidence and anticipation. I encourage you to visit campus, talk with our students and faculty, and learn more about our exceptional academic program. Pieter Mulder
