Berks Catholic is an inclusive environment who cares about each and every individual student. Their 4 pillars of God, Academics, Family, and Fun are present in student life everyday. From weekly mass, to sporting events, to band concerts, there is always something going on at BC for everyone to enjoy. Teachers and staff always want the best for their students and will stop at nothing to ensure that. The rigorous curriculum is great for any student freshmen to senior. I’ve made my best friends here and want to thank Berks Catholic for making that possible.
I choose to attend Berks Catholic because I felt it was the better choice of schools as it showed better academics success in comparison to my local public school, and I was thoroughly impressed with how well-run and committed the school was to giving their students a quality education! Not only that, the other students are very hospitablity and inviting towards upcoming freshman and transfer students, so the fear of an rough transition to high school was one thing I didn’t have to worry about it. Finally, you will never run out of fun activities and extra curricular to partake in, as Berks Catholic has many clubs ranging from a gaming club to an international club to a baking club. In short, Berks Catholic is not only a great school to enroll in but is a wise investment to those who would like to further pursue an education through college or technical school and helps refine skills the way no other school can.
As Director of Admissions at Berks Catholic I have the pleasure of meeting most students and their families before they become Saints, and I have the privilege to work with so many of them during their high school years. Seeing the students incorporate Berks Catholics core values each day reminds me of how important the role is of our dedicated faculty and staff. Our students are the reason we are all here, and their success is what motivates us. I share our parents enthusiasm about their child’s future, both at Berks Catholic and after.
I am confident that our school provides each student with a strong academic foundation while preparing for the future whether it’s college, military or a career path. We pride ourselves on teaching and following the Gospel values while incorporating our four pillars of success: God, Family, Academics and Fun! Teaching and growing with these core values will help guide each of our students towards a successful future.
