Enrollment for the 2016-2017 School Year

Bergman Academy’s low student to teacher ratio will give your kindergarten student the opportunity to fully engage and participate in all areas of the classroom. Their curriculum includes things such as Spanish, art, music, health, and PE.

Individualized guided instruction will make sure your child’s academic and social needs are being met in the classroom and that they are moving toward their personal best and becoming lifelong learners. Kindergartners regularly have projects and assignments that have them practicing public speaking, listening, eye contact, and fluency. But most of all, kindergartners have the chance to combine education with fun!

Students in the Middle Scholar program (grades 6 through 8) participate in Spanish, music, technology, art, and 120 hours of physical education. The group also has many unique opportunities they participate in, such as Central Academy, the ITEC Technology Fair, archery, storytelling and photojournalism, STEM field trips, and various philanthropic projects. But the best part — they have an entirely new wing with six new classrooms and two state-of-the-art science labs!

Alongside the new addition is a new playground in Greenwood Park that benefits the entire Des Moines community. Students are able to utilize the hiking trails by exploring, geocaching, sledding, snowshoeing, and other outdoor activities. The new playground has equipment for preschool-aged children and well as elementary- and middle-school-aged children.
