School Overview

Berkeley Arts Magnet at Whittier sits in the heart of north Berkeley, where tree-lined streets and a strong sense of community make it a natural fit for families who want academics woven together with genuine creative expression. The school draws kids from across the district into a program that integrates visual art, music, and performance into everyday learning — not as an afterthought, but as a core part of how students engage with subjects like English and science, where it ranks among the very best in California. It's a great match for families who believe a child can be both a strong academic learner and a working artist, and who want to raise their kids in one of the Bay Area's most culturally rich and walkable neighborhoods.
