Students were grooving at our annual MS/US Spring Dance Concert last week! This year’s theme, “Inspiration,” had dancers exploring who and what inspires them to make and create, covering topics such as nature, poetry, friendship, anger, and loss. There were 72 dancers from the Middle and Upper School, including eight student choreographers, and three adult choreographers, including Performing Arts Department Chair and Middle and Upper School Dance Teacher Penelope McCourty, Chair of the Upper School History Department Amber Thomas, and guest Amanda Carnesecchi.
Congratulations to our talented dancers and everyone involved for putting together this spectacular show!

We have had a great start to the spring with a fantastic series of music performances! Middle and Upper School students from Studio Ensemble, Jazz, Wind, Chamber, and Orchestra Ensembles, as well as the Berkeley Carroll Choir, took the stage and delivered outstanding, memorable shows for the audience to enjoy. Congratulations to all the performers and faculty for their dedication and hard work in bringing these special events to our community.

The annual all-school BC Art Show is just around the corner! Students Pre-K through Grade 12 have been working hard all year on their artworks, and can’t wait to share with the community on Saturday, May 16.
Looking forward to seeing you there! Click the link in bio to RSVP!
We had a wonderful and sunny Kindergarten and Grade 4 Grandparents and Special Friends event today! This longstanding BC tradition is a day we always look forward to, where family and friends come together to connect, share stories, and enjoy the company of loved ones. Thank you to everyone who joined us today, and thank you to our dedicated faculty and staff who organized this special day!
What a day! This past Saturday, over 400 members of our community gathered for UnityFest, a vibrant celebration of culture, connection, and the spirit of Berkeley Carroll! This year’s event featured a vibrant Lunar New Year celebration and was organized by the Parent Association’s Mosaic and AAPI groups in partnership with the Office of Equity and Inclusion.
Between experiencing performances including a traditional lion dance, K-Pop, African dance, drumming, yoga, and Double Dutch, participating in games and crafts, and indulging in delicious food from across the globe, we came together to celebrate each other, community, culture, and heritage.
Some of our youngest artists have been busy getting creative! PreK students recently wrapped up a joyful (and delightfully messy!) printmaking unit, creating vibrant self-portraits. Through color, texture, and pattern, students explored new techniques while expressing what makes each of them unique. Don’t miss a peek at their imaginative process and see these artists in action!
