Parent: I've looked forward to the opportunity to bring my kids to Kirby for many years. The ethic of care in a culture of achievement allows my children to push toward their own personal goals with ample support. They are inspired by the talents and ambitions of their peers, including the occasional impromptu piano recital in the cafe at lunch! The school has unparalleled access to the arts, which has brought out talents and confidence in my kids I never would have known. My kids were average students prior to Kirby and both have become stronger and more focused. The teachers really get to know your child so they can push them to their growth edge. For the students who are ready for graduate-school level work, which I see in some of the high schoolers, the teachers are ready to meet their enthusiam with expertise and challenge. Every Kirby student is celebrated for their own greatest strength, whether it's academics, song-writing, or gymnastics.... Read 43 reviews

Neighborhood in Berkeley, CA
Current Resident: This neighborhood gives young professionals and families the best of everything: great food, great access to health and fitness, and friendly people. Walk everywhere or take public transportation, but if you must take your car, you're 5 minutes from the freeway, 10 minutes from the Bay Bridge, and 20 minutes to downtown San Francisco. Berkeley public schools allow your children to meet all kinds of people and exposes them to the world. The teachers are some of the best. MLK Middle School teaches students about cooking and gardening in their edible garden (founded by none other than Alice Waters of Chez Panisse) and Berkeley High has one of the best jazz bands in the country. UC Berkeley is rated the number 1 public university in the world and it's campus is gorgeous for all to visit. Audit classes! The professors are very welcoming. I always feel safe in Westbrae and love my neighbors and neighborhood.... Read 15 reviews

Works Here: Sora is a truly unique educational model that gives students both a rigorous, project-based learning experience AND the flexibility of working from wherever they and their computer happen to be. I have worked at other virtual schools that boast about their individualized learning programs when all that really means is that students go through boring learning modules at their own pace and meet once a week with their teacher and 100+ other students. Not at Sora! Here, small class sizes and intentional community-building allow students to build genuine relationships with their teachers and other students; there is no hiding behind a screen at Sora. In addition to an amazing community, Sora offers truly unique learning experiences that help students explore their passions, make interdisciplinary connections, and actually prepare for the real world....

Parent: My husband and I had been dreading sending our son to the public middle school he was slated to attend. It was academically execellent but huge, and the stories coming out of the school (no DEI, no control over cell phone usage, a lot of teacher turn over, poor responses to racist incidents and bullying, etc.) made us realize it was not a place we wanted our son to spend his critical middle school years from a developmental stand point. We were looking for a school with a much smaller teacher to student ratio, a genuine DEI program that wasn't just a statement in their marketing materials, and a place where our son was able to go through the challenging middle school years where his social/emotional needs would be attended to as opposed to being an afterthought. The school has provided all of this and so much more. EBSB also addresses the way boys this age learn as opposed to a one size fits all curriculum. Our son loves it! Best parenting decision we have probably made so far.... Read 13 reviews
