About BMC

Berkeley Middle College serves 11th and 12th grade students from the district’s eight high schools through a partnership with Trident Technical College. The program supports a smooth transition into college while helping students explore academic and career goals in a respectful and resilient learning environment.

Our goals are to provide innovative academic pathways beyond a traditional high school setting, offer opportunities to earn college credit toward certificates, degrees, or transfer, and support students who wish to accelerate their studies to complete an associate degree early. We also provide career counseling and focus on developing 21st-century skills to ensure student learning, achievement, and success.
