Welcome, new Cragmont families!
Welcome to Cragmont School! We are so excited to have you join our outstanding Cragmont community. You are now part of a thriving community committed to making our school an awesome place to be. We are an active, innovative, engaged, and inclusive community of staff, students, and families, all housed in a beautiful building with expansive views of the bay.
As our mission statement says, we are dedicated to providing an outstanding education for all students while laying the foundation for each child’s personal success. Our programs combine academic rigor and intellectual challenge with strong support for students of all abilities. We are committed to a safe and supportive environment that includes all students. Our enriching curriculum includes science, art, music, P.E., dance, and trips to our impressive and beautiful library.

In addition to our school day, Berkeley Unified School District runs an afterschool program at Cragmont School called LEARNS.
