BERTSCHISCHOOL

Hello from the Bertschi Student Council

Welcome to Bertschi! In the words of one of our council members, “We are a village of great people.” Our “village” is made up of exceptional teachers, compassionate students, and caring families. We are an inclusive, welcoming, and extremely thoughtful community. Let us tell you more...

From the moment you step through the gates at Bertschi, you feel the warmth of our community. Our teachers really care about teaching and know how to make learning fun. Our school projects are interactive and hands-on. Sometimes we forget we are in school!

As students, we also care about one another. Everyday we practice the virtues of empathy, humility, and kindness. We also make sure to express gratitude to those who teach and guide us. Thank you for supporting our school so that we can come to this amazing school every day.

Dear Bertschi Families and Friends,

Stop! Before you read this note, check out the wise words of our incredible Student Council to the left.

These thoughtful students are a reflection of all our Bertschi kids, who embrace and live our mission and values every day. Developing confident, compassionate, and creative learners remains at the center of all that we do, and I am immensely grateful for the generous support we receive from the greater Bertschi community.

I want to acknowledge that support comes in many forms. Each family’s contribution helps ensure that our teachers can do their best work, so that our students can take their education with them wherever they go. Bertschi kids will pay it forward in ways we cannot even imagine!

I am honored to serve as the Head of School at this wonderful place, and I thank all of the families who help us shape the next generation of Bertschi kids.

Sincerely,

Rafael del Castillo Head of School
