Our Story

Emerge Berkeley Christian Academy (EBCA) was born from a vision to reimagine what formative education could look like in Berkeley—in a city known for bold ideas, diversity, and innovation, recognized a growing hunger for something more: a learning community where academic excellence is intertwined with character, faith, and a true sense of belonging.

At EBCA, we believe education should reach the mind, inspire the heart, and awaken the spirit. Therefore, at EBCA, we're cultivating a place where students are seen, known, and nurtured. A place where learning is both rigorous and joyful, where curiosity is encouraged, and where students grow into thoughtful, compassionate, and resilient leaders.

With a clear vision to shape innovative thinkers and wholehearted individuals, EBCA was launched in response to the uniqueness of Berkeley—a city that dares to imagine a better way.
