The Berkeley Carroll School is an independent, nonsectarian, coed day school, enrolling about 800 students from pre-kindergarten through high school. Berkeley Carroll School is located in the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn at three locations: 181 Lincoln Place, 701 Carroll Street, and 762 President Street.
The school was created in 1982 by consolidatiing the Berkeley Institute, an all-girls school chartered in 1886, and the Carroll Street School, a Montessori-style preschool founded in 1966. The Berkeley Institute was named after Irish empiricist philosopher George Berkeley.
