Welcome to Berkeley's John Muir Elementary School
Welcome to John Muir School, smallest of the eleven elementary
schools in the Berkeley Unified School District. Our school is the
recipient of multiple grants and awards including the National Blue
Ribbon Award for 2005. As you walk the halls, examine student work
posted everywhere, notice how students treat each other, and visit
classrooms, you will see the results of a faculty, parent community,
and support staff who are dedicated, focused and skilled.
New: 2008-2009 BUSD Academic Calendar
Diversity is among our core strengths. The school serves 245 students, Kindergarten through Fifth Grade. Our parent community includes parents who speak more than 12 languages. We support and invite students from every background and offer a learning program that uses effective teaching to promote high achievement. Since our school hosts one of the region's premiere programs for the deaf and the hard of hearing, all students here are exposed to sign language. A combination of hard work and focused effort has produced a remarkable story of sustained success.
Please tour the website to find out more about our wonderful school!
