One week down, a thousand more memories to make!
In our first week of school, we saw CURIOSITY in students eager to discover, COURAGE in those trying something new, COMPASSION for our youngest learners who took their first steps into school, and COMMUNITY on campus.
We love having our students back on campus and eager to take on the 2026-2027 school year!

While students enjoyed the last days of summer, our EB teachers were hard at work: completing first aid and safety certifications, training on this year’s academic programs, welcoming new faculty members, and getting every classroom ready. Take a look at what happens before the first day — and help us welcome everyone back to École Bilingue de Berkeley! 🎒✨

On Friday, we celebrated our annual Spring Showcase, where students shared performances, presentations, and exhibits inspired by this year’s theme, “Biodiversity & Community”. Students and teachers worked endlessly to make this event happen and it was absolutely amazing!
Also a special thank you to Elodie and Emily, our wonderful French and English coordinators. Their incredible support helped everyone bring the Spring Showcase to life and guided the creation of a beautiful collective art piece, titled "A Living Chain," representing the strength of our community and our shared hope for the future of biodiversity. We couldn't have done it without their dedication!

Vendredi dernier, nous avons célébré notre spectacle annuel de printemps, au cours duquel les élèves ont présenté des spectacles, des exposés et des expositions inspirés du thème de cette année, « Biodiversité et communauté ». Les élèves et les enseignants ont travaillé sans relâche pour que cet événement puisse avoir lieu et le résultat était tout simplement incroyable !
Un grand merci également à Elodie et Emily, nos formidables coordinatrices de français et d’anglais. Leur incroyable soutien a aidé tout le monde à donner vie au Salon du printemps et a guidé la création d’une magnifique œuvre d’art collective, intitulée « Une chaîne vivante », qui représente la force de notre communauté et notre espoir commun pour l’avenir de la biodiversité. Nous n’aurions pas pu y arriver sans leur dévouement !

Discipline doesn’t have to be a daily power struggle. At EB, our approach to positive discipline starts with one powerful idea: children do better when they feel better.

📍 In Episode 3 of the EB Podcast, Magali Noth (Head of Primary) and Sarah “Sparks” Parks-Urbano (Lower School Counselor) explore why connection comes before correction—at school and at home. They discuss belonging, emotional safety, and what children really need in order to learn, grow, and cooperate.

G5 students spent this past week in Québec immersing themselves in the culture, history, and adventure of the region! From museums and maple shacks to circus arts workshops, shopping in Old Québec, and even outdoor survival activities in the rain, students made unforgettable memories throughout the trip.

Les élèves de CM2 ont passé la semaine dernière à Québec, où ils se sont plongés dans la culture, l'histoire et les aventures de la région ! Entre les musées, les cabanes à sucre, les ateliers d'arts du cirque, le shopping dans le Vieux-Québec et même des activités de survie en plein air sous la pluie, les élèves ont vécu des moments inoubliables tout au long de ce voyage.
