I have searched across the area for a school that could meet the needs of my gifted yet sensitive child. The family feel and personalized curriculum and structure for my son is perfect. We are so grateful that this school has come to Reston to serve the community.
Berthold Academy cares about the social and emotional development of young learners. Something you just don’t see with the traditional educational model. Mind, body and spirit is infused into learning which includes mindfulness training and self-awareness development skills—something young people benefit from so to become strong, independent, confident and resilient adults. I’m proud to be part of this growing community!
The only way you can invent tomorrow is if you break out of the enclosure that the school system has provided for you by the exams written by people who are trained in another generation.
This is an amazing school with a staff full of passion for education, our daughter is in 6th grade and we could not be happier. This is a school with daily mindfulness, maker lab, and an organic garden. The location is beautifully secluded with lots of green and a nice playground and hangout areas.
