It is my pleasure to welcome you to our school, a truly unique learning environment that has been at the forefront of bilingual education for nearly 50 years.
At EB, we take a holistic view of learning; combining the rigor of French pedagogy with a comprehensive social-emotional learning program to give our students all the tools they need to be successful citizens. We nurture creative, multilingual learners, equipped to confidently embrace the delights and challenges of an interconnected world.
Dedicated to high academic achievement and social development, we encourage our students to be as curious about each other’s experiences as they are about their studies, and to think critically about the world around them. We strive to help our students reach their full potential and to learn to see a world without barriers, where they can belong anywhere they choose.
Our dual-accredited bilingual program also teaches students to value and respect diverse perspectives. We encourage them to be passionate readers, articulate speakers, and critical thinkers. From preschool to middle school, we provide opportunities to discover, to explore, to create and to challenge the ideas they encounter.
We practice what we preach; all adults strive to embody our school’s core values, compassion, curiosity, courage, and community. True to those values, our school’s commitment to building a diverse, equitable and inclusive environment enhances the educational experience for all students, staff, and families.
Using an individualized approach, our passionate educators believe in meeting each student where they are to help them embark on an exciting journey of lifelong learning. I am immensely proud of their effort, enthusiasm, and their profound belief in EB’s mission and vision.
Thank you so much for visiting our website. It’s only a glimpse of the engaging environment we create for our students, so next time you’re in West Berkeley come by one of our lively campuses and say hello - my door is always open!
