You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.89.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪L235‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 18:20, 24 March 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''The Berkeley Carroll School''' is a [[coed]] independent [[college prep]] [[school]] in [[New York City]]. Located in [[Park Slope]], [[Brooklyn]], it has a Lower School (preK – grade 4), Middle School (grades 5–8) and Upper School (grades 9–12).

== History ==
The Berkeley Carroll School was officially chartered by the New York state government on April 12, 1886, as a school for "the education of young ladies" under the name Berkeley Institute. Within a decade, boys were being admitted to the kindergarten through fourth grade. The school went fully co-educational in 1974.<ref>((Cite web|title=Berkeley Carroll: A History - The Berkeley Carroll School|url=https://www.berkeleycarroll.org/about-us/our-history/berkeley-carroll-a-history|access-date=2022-01-07|website=www.berkeleycarroll.org|language=en-US))</ref>

== Academics ==
The school has three educational divisions, from preschool through high school. The Lower School focuses on the fundamentals of [[reading (activity)|reading]], [[writing]], [[math]], [[science]], [[technology]], the arts, and [[social studies]]. In 2012, the Lower School started a Spanish partial-immersion program, in which all classes are partially taught in Spanish to help students become comfortable hearing and speaking Spanish at an early age.((Citation needed|date=April 2020))

The Middle School has an academic program that includes [[science]], [[humanities]], [[math]], [[physical education]], [[the arts]], [[Spanish (language)|Spanish]], and speech and debate. Every fifth and sixth grader learns to play a wind and/or string instrument and performs in concerts for the community.((Citation needed|date=April 2020)) In 2016, the Middle School math team (the Quantifyin' Lions) won the Brooklyn MathCounts competition and the Middle and Upper School speech & debate teams won many awards at the state and local level.((Citation needed|date=April 2020))

In the Upper School, academic programs include English, science, math, history, computer science, the arts, world language, and speech and debate. Additionally, the Upper School has partnerships with [[New York University Tandon School of Engineering|NYU's Tandon School of Engineering]], which provides engineering classes for Berkeley Carroll students, and Johns Hopkins University's Center for Talented Youth, which offers students online Mandarin and Arabic courses.

Berkeley Carroll promotes fitness, sportsmanship, leadership, and responsibility through their athletic programs. Their athletic facilities include a 75-foot swimming pool, two full-size gyms, a mezzanine area for fitness and strength-training, and two play yards. 82% of Middle School students and 72% of Upper School students play a sport.
