Very expensive with no obvious benefit over public schools. Huge bullying problem. Lack of services like OT. No youth sports programs.

My experience at Berwick Academy has changed me in many ways. I joined the Berwick community as a quiet seventh grader and now I am an outgoing senior. I joined many clubs, played multiple sports, and took classes I never would have if Berwick's community didn't support me as much as it did. Berwick Academy was the best high school for me to have gone to.

Our experience and expectations have been declining over the years with the price of tuition only going up. Our child's learning environment is rather poor based on their feedback and if you don't "tow the line" exactly, they will ostracize you and your child. The individual teachers seem caring and...
