We will move to a physical class at any time once the COVID-19 situation is deemed safe.
2.) Small classes for increased accountability and individual attention
In smaller classes, students receive individual attention directly from teachers.
3.) Support from a physical office that allows for material pick up
In order to encourage social distancing for everyone’s safety and health, we have set up No-contact Drop-off / Pick-up Station at each of our branches.
Though all transactions can be arranged online, if you prefer to drop off a check or cash for payment, or would like to pick up physical materials for curriculum or tests, please call or email us so we can prepare ahead to make your visit as efficient as possible.
4.) Quality service you can only get at B2A
Expect the same quality as on-site classes you expect from B2A with top instructors, top curriculum, and top student care.

Berkeley² Academy Response to Coronavirus (COVID-19)
March 13, 2020
As global concern about the current COVID-19 outbreak grows, we at Berkeley2 Academy want to take proper precautions to ensure the health and safety of all our students, their families, and staff.
Since the virus is highly contagious and there's currently no vaccine, we all need to:
1. Stay home if we are sick.
If you experience cold flu-like symptoms, or simply a running nose, please stay home. Because the coronavirus produces cold-like symptoms in 80% of infected individuals, it's important to remain at home when ill regardless of how mild your symptoms are.
2. Refrain from visiting the workplace after traveling to an infected city or high-risk country.
Effective immediately, any staff/students or anyone in the family who has completed travel to either a Level 2 or Level 3 country OR believe they may have been exposed to the COVID-19 virus will not be allowed to return to our center for a 14-day period. The current list of Level 2 or Level 3 countries may be found on the CDC information for Travel Page here. We ask that you stay home to rest and fully recover before returning to class.
3. Lastly, we ask everyone to follow the following steps to prevent the spread of any viruses.
-
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. (We have sanitizers ready at each branch.)
-
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
-
Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
-
Stay home when you are sick.
-
Cover your mouth and nose with the inside of your elbow when you cough or sneeze.
-
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
We'll ensure the workplace has alcohol-based hand sanitizer at the front desk and regularly lysol all surfaces.
Thank you for your cooperation to help ensure the safety and health of everyone.
