Apply to Berkshire

Please plan to spend two hours at Berkshire in order to allow time for a campus tour and interview for both student and parents. To schedule a tour (available Monday through Saturday), please contact the Admission Office at 413-229-1003 or email admission@berkshireschool.org.

Students should register for standardized tests. Grades 9 and 10 require SSAT (school code: 1612), while grade 11 requires PSAT or SAT. Grade 12 and post graduates requires ACT or SAT. International students are required to take the TOEFL in addition to SSAT, PSAT or SAT (international school code: 3252).

Through your chosen application platform, The SSAT's Standard Application Online (SAO) or Gateway to Prep Schools, request your transcript and recommendation from your school Principal or counselor, as well as recommendations from your English and math teachers. You are always welcome to submit a supplemental personal reference, though this additional recommendation is not required.

Ensure that you have completed all required components of the application and submit your materials by January 15.

If you are applying for Financial Aid, please visit sss.nais.org to complete required financial aid forms and directly submit all necessary tax documents by the January 15 deadline. For assistance in submitting these materials, please contact SSS at 800-344-8328. For questions relating to Berkshire's Financial Aid policies and practices, please contact Dana Anselmi, Berkshire School Director of Financial Aid, at danaanselmi@berkshireschool.org
