In addition to a robust academic program, opportunities for exploration and engagement outside of the classroom are important aspects of the Upper School experience. Students are invited to engage in clubs, activities, and social events that occur both on and off campus. In addition to participation, students are encouraged to work in conjunction with the faculty to create vibrant experiences, expanding on and exploring a range of interests, and building a unique sense of community spirit.
Clubs at Berwick are largely student-run with faculty support and cover a range of interests driven by student investment and choice. Some clubs center around social/entertainment focused activities while others connect with the Lower and Middle Schools, Finance, Community Service, Sustainability, and Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI).
Club applications and sign-ups open each September and give students an opportunity to learn about, start, or join those that interest them. Meeting schedules are published and shared throughout the year. Students may also start a club by following a formal process that includes a written mission-statement and identifying a faculty sponsor.
