Founded in 2013 by Peter J. Swing and Yorlenny Aguilar in Santa Ana, Costa Rica, Berkeley Academy was built on the belief that a truly international, multicultural education gives students the perspective to change the world for the better.

Now a college-preparatory school serving 350 students from the U.S., Costa Rica, and dozens of countries around the world, Berkeley Academy is the first College Board Institutional Member in Costa Rica — held to academic standards unparalleled in Central America.

We are a community founded on honor, prestige, and excellence, where integrity, discipline, and character are hallmark traits in our faculty, staff, and, most importantly, our students.
