The community is thoughtful, engaging, and welcoming. The progressive learning approach keeps my daughter engaged, excited, and learning new life and academic skills daily. Teaching the kids mindfulness and ways to communicate at such a young age will really help shape these beautiful young minds to have a deeper understanding into the world but also as human beings. I am grateful to be apart of this community and thankful for the dedicated staff. A tucked away beautiful school gem in a very quiet area of Fort Greene.

We want our children to be bilingual and we're thrilled that both have entered a dual language english/Spanish program. We also love that fact that this is an IB school that focuses on 21st century skills. Last but not least, the school hired a COVID consultant and reorganized the entire school in order to be able to have children on premises and meet social distancing standards. Although they do have a remote option, this thankful parent is thrilled to drop the kids off at real school every morning.

We visited a number of schools and sought the the advice of countless friends and family before finally being introduced to Pine Street school. We attended an informational social which gave us the opportunity to meet faculty, parents, students, and learn more about the IB program and curriculum - we were blown away by the enthusiasm of the teachers, the global exposure the students had, and the close knit community we encountered there. But it was our children's response that really informed our decision to apply as they were eager to spend more time with everyone they met that evening and excited to learn more about the school. Fast forward to today and we couldn't be happier with the decision that we made. Pine Street School truly supports the whole child: the curriculum is rigorous and engaging, and we visibly see how they are preparing our children to go out and make a difference in the world. Students go on more field trips than any other school I've encountered - they really make sure that they have an opportunity to go out and experience the world. It is apparent that the thoughtful approach to learning supports the development of our children intellectually, emotionally, and socially and we couldn't be more pleased. And they continue to impress us and exceed our expectations, especially during this unprecedented time where our children need more love, support and consistency than ever; they are the only school that I know of that offers 4.5 hours of synchronous learning each day while school is physically closed due to social distancing! Incredible! They have managed to maintain the academic standards and preparation that we've become accustomed to during this challenging time: it doesn't get more committed than that. I could go on forever but will stop by thanking Pine for continuing to reaffirm why we made the best decision possible by enrolling both of our children. Thank you!

Both from an academic perspective as well as giving children an opportunity to grow as individuals, I have watched my own children truly blossom during their tenure at BC. Whether it is the partnership with NYU to teach kids science and engineering, the excellent drama program, the nationally competitive speech and debate program or the highly competitive athletic program the school excels at that which it puts its mind to. If you are looking for an independent school, I highly recommend giving strong consideration to Berkeley Carroll.
