Open Houses/Events

Choosing a private education for your child is a very important decision and sometimes can present challenges. There are many aspects to consider. Attending an Open House and/or Touring our campus is an important part of the decision making process. As you experience the daily life going on around you, you will get a sense of what Berkwood Hedge School is all about. While you are here, you will meet other parents and you will experience the Berkwood Hedge School community and get a sense of whether this is the right place for your child and your family.
