William Berczy Public School is a public elementary school in the town of Unionville, Ontario, Canada. It is a public school in the York Region District School Board. The school's name comes from William Berczy, who founded the town in which the school is located. The school itself is a two-storey building. In addition to this, a portapak adds another 4 classrooms to the school along with another portable classroom. Recently, a new wing was added as an expansion to the north-west end of the school. Other changes include the moving of the portables and in its place creating pavement and several basketball nets. Because the office is hard to locate from the main entrance of the school, and for security, there has been construction since July 2006. Currently, the school's office and a classroom are being combined to make a bigger office. The stairs to the right of the main entrance will be removed and a hallway will be built in place connecting the new office to the main entrance. It should be finished by the end of summer 2006. If not finished by then, when the school year starts, the office will be temporarily relocated to the staff room until it is finished. A team of parent volunteers also help out in planting and gardening in the spring season.

One of the main programs in this school is the Gifted Program.
