Kingsley, Class of 2021

My experience [at Bergman] has been unlike any other. I have been able to grow academically, socially, and mentally. I was encouraged to challenge myself and reach out of my comfort zone.

I am so grateful I got to spend as much time here as I have. I am confident that this experience will stay with me forever.
