More than 20 years into the 21st Century, education is at a crossroads. Knowledge is essential, but knowledge alone will not prepare students for success in life. As traditional careers evolve or disappear entirely and new careers emerge, the foundation of lifelong learning requires critical thinking, creativity, curiosity, communication, adaptability and collaboration as essential elements that we need to cultivate in our children.

 Berkwood Hedge School has intuitively known this for more than 75 years, educating students to practice making thoughtful and just choices, to discover their passions, and to nurture meaningful relationships, while developing academic excellence and emotional intelligence, in preparation for life. 

At Berkwood Hedge School, children come to school excited about learning.  We nurture this energy and enthusiasm throughout their journey here, and our children graduate with a strong academic foundation, a joy of learning, and a connection to community.

About the Top 5 Progressive Elementary Schools in the 2022 Parents Press Readers Choice Poll

The Best of Parents Press was born with the idea to give readers in the Bay Area a chance to voice their opinions on their personal ‘Family Favorite’ choices for Progressive Elementary Schools and everything kids and family. The program has evolved over the years, and hopefully, with a lot of input from our readers, we’ve been able to make it better and better.

The voting for Alameda County Progressive Elementary Schools is conducted in a two-round process. The first round occurs in the month of March and early April with open write-in nominations for parent’s favorite Progressive Elementary Schools taking place. 

As the nomination period for Progressive Elementary Schools in the first round comes to a close, shortly after, the second round opens with the top nominee Progressive Elementary Schools being selectable in this final round of voting during the month of April and May. Write-in nominations are no longer available, and voters are open to select their favorite Progressive Elementary Schools from among those that are listed.

The final winners are posted in the August issue of Parents Press

We hope you enjoy! And we hope you come back to vote next year
