There are a myriad of private schools in Berkeley: Private, parochial, bilingual, Montessori and the list goes on. For details on each school go to Great Schools and read about each of the schools, what grade levels they serve, type of curriculum, student teacher ratio, extra curricular, and so on. Set up a tour or sign up for an informational event to meet the administrators and school staff.
Observe a class in session if the school lets you. Most importantly, know your child and your own cultural and academic expectations. There are a number of excellent schools in the bay, but excellent will not work if it is not the right fit for your child. Finding the right fit makes all the difference for academic success. Take your time and do your research; speak to other parents that have children in those schools. Your commute school should also be considered especially if you are looking at K-8 or a K-12.
Good luck!
