Our Location

 

The Academy is located in Berkeley, California, six blocks southeast of the University of California, Berkeley, campus. We are situated in a residential neighborhood within the Elmwood District, on a quiet tree-lined street.

 

Our campus consists of a main building which houses most of the classrooms and the school office, a back bungalow containing the science room and our art center, a full playground and side yard with a play structure, and a front courtyard and garden. The main building is a Berkeley traditional brown-shingle known as the "Edwards House" designed by Ernest Coxhead in 1903. In 1997, the building was seismically upgraded. Over the years, we have been remodeling and continue to improve both building and grounds, always making sure the ambiance, charm and integrity of the original design are being preserved.
