Technology | Berkeley earned Apple Distinguished School status in September 2021. 100% of Berkeley teachers have earned their Apple Teacher designation. Their knowledge of Apple products like GarageBand, iMovie, and Pages has transformed the classroom environment to become more interdisciplinary and experiential resulting in students grasping new information better.  Anytime Anywhere Learning is Berkeley’s student technology initiative which recognizes that in today’s information-driven global society, learning should not be bound by the walls of the classroom or the hours of the school day. While all Berkeley students have convenient access to age-appropriate technologies, students in grades 4 through 12 enjoy ubiquitous access to their devices.
