Technology | Berkeley earned Apple Distinguished School status in September 2021. 100% of Berkeley teachers have earned their Apple Teacher designation.

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.
