Our community supports and celebrates the unique gifts of every child.

Members of the Bertschi community truly practice what they teach—every day. Students are educated to know who they are, who their fellow students are, and the impact and influence they have on their surroundings. These practices are built upon three interdependent values: creativity, confidence, and compassion.

All individuals in the Bertschi community are encouraged to think, act and express themselves creatively. The curriculum is infused with projects—from science to art, math to drama—that promote creative and analytical thinking

Staff, teachers, parents, and students work together to establish an environment that is inclusive, supportive, and respectful so that children feel secure. School-wide behavioral expectations are clearly modeled, supported, and celebrated through compliment cards and class trophies. We foster the empathy and tolerance needed to help children resolve conflict and develop tools for problem solving.

Bertschi School teaches children social and environmental practices that will engage them for a lifetime as thoughtful members of a global community. We encourage environmental responsibility with programs like "Waste-Free Wednesdays," which encourages parents and students to create waste-free lunches. We are dedicated to sustaining a school culture that is considerate and compassionate.
