Performing arts helps me be creative, express myself and connect with others.
Berkley TV
Students run the show
Our own award-winning television studio, with a student crew behind every shot.
Few schools anywhere have anything like Berkley TV. Students write, present, film, direct and edit their own shows, then take our biggest moments live, from concerts and productions to festivals and school events.
It is real television, made by students. For many, it is the first step towards a future in film, media or entertainment.
