Founded in 1911, Berkeley Hall is one of the oldest independent schools in
Los Angeles. Our commitment to education is rooted in the vision of the
school’s founders, Leila and Mabel Cooper, who as educators and
Christian Scientists were dedicated to promoting the unlimited,
intelligent nature of all children as expressions of God.

Religion is not taught in the classrooms, but a spiritual foundation of
fellowship, respect, and love of good strengthens and supports all
aspects of school life.

Berkeley Hall families come from many religious, ethnic, cultural
and economic backgrounds. We believe diversity is crucial to a
balanced learning environment and are committed to reflecting
it in our enrollment.

An active partnership with parents makes for a family feeling of
community. Together we embrace and reinforce the academic
standards and family values of the school, as well as kick up
our heels at annual events such as the Country Fair, Family
Campout, and Gala Dinner.
