=== Public ===
K-12 public education in Berne is provided by South Adams Schools. [[South Adams Jr./Sr. High School]] shares its building with the Elementary and Middle Schools. Their nickname is the Starfires.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Home / Homepage |url=https://www.southadams.k12.in.us/http%3A%2F%2Fwww.southadams.k12.in.us%2Fdefault.aspx%3FPageID%3D9 |access-date=2022-04-11 |website=www.southadams.k12.in.us |language=en}}</ref>

Four area schools consolidated into "South Adams" just prior to the 1966–67 school year. They were the "Berne Bears", the "Geneva Cardinals", the "Hartford Gorillas", and the "Jefferson Warriors."<ref>{{Cite web |title=IHSAA Membership History: 1903-Present |url=https://www.ihsaa.org/Portals/0/Membership%20History.pdf |access-date=April 11, 2022}}</ref> Though the consolidated school was located in Berne, as a compromise the school took a new name and mascot - "The South Adams Starfires" - ostensibly named after the first principal/superintendent's car (an [[Oldsmobile Starfire]]).
