Our daughter has been a student at Brookewood School since first grade, and it has truly been a blessing for our family. From the very beginning, she felt welcomed, supported, and inspired. Brookewood is more than just a schoolits a close-knit community where every child is known, valued, and guided with care. The teachers and staff are exceptional: kind, respectful, and deeply committed to helping students grow academically and personally.
We are especially grateful for the strong sense of discipline, values, and character formation that the school instills. Our daughter has grown into a respectful, thoughtful, and confident young student who loves going to school every day. Brookewood has played a big role in shaping who she is becoming, and we couldnt be more thankful.**

We transferred our 2nd grader to Brookewood for the second semester of 2020-2021. She has now been at Brookewood for two weeks, and here's what we've seen so far:
She comes home each day glowing with energy and happiness.
It used to be pulling teeth to get her to share details about her school day but now she's volunteering all kinds of things:
- pointing out types of clouds on the morning drive
- telling us fruit names in Italian
- explaining what the Minotaur is
- happy to recite her first memorized poem to us and her grandparents
- showing us the snowman she created in art class with better shading and artistic skill than I've ever seen her display
Peter Pan is the read aloud book right now and she is LOVING it - it's been a challenge to get her interested in chapter books, but she's eating this one up!
She told me the other day, "Mommy, you were right. Brookewood is the just right school for me."
I knew the Brookewood curriculum was going to be a step up, but this is richer and more full of life than I even knew to hope for.

Brookewood is a fabulous school whose motto is Nolite Timere! Be Not Afraid! That is exactly what they have done during this pandemic. With small classes and individualized attention the school has been successfully open, during this pandemic, for 4 months. The community is working together to have a safe, cheerful and wholesome environment for in person learning. It is a true blessing!

Brookewood is an independent all-girls school guided by the authentic teachings of the Catholic church. My three daughters all attend, grades 10, 6, and 3. The academics are rigorous and coupled with the benefit of small class sizes- I feel they will all be very well prepared for college.
However, Brookewood is not just about academics. The spiritual and character formation they receive are essential preparation for the real world. I truly believe they will be well prepared to stand for what is right. The faculty and staff are to be commended for the nurturing educational environment they have created at this wonderful school.

This is a great school, nothing attractive at first site. I wasn't even sure my daughter would want to go there. But is being 3years now. She is challenge lots, the school atmosphere is just great. I am so happy because all you heard about those big school concerning bulling is not just there. Parents are very involve in their kids educations and the school.

Brookewood is such a great school. All the parents, students, the entire community atmosphere is great. One of the many perks of being at such a small school is that teachers actually rake the time to help you and make sure you understand what your learning. Brookewood is a very unique school and I love it
