Founded in 1956, "Brookwood School" is a warm, child-centered community of exuberant learners with an unparalleled commitment to both the development of the mind and the development of the self. Brookwood strives to graduate academically accomplished individuals of conscience, character and compassion. Currently there are 403 students and about 45 faculty members. There is such wonderful enrichment to offer, and not many students have left Brookwood without mastering their talents. Sports such as field hockey, basketball, soccer, lacrosse and fencing, as well as karate are offered. Some are taken after school, without a team, and some are during school times on a team. There are after school classes offered by teachers as well as visitors that include, sewing, Mandarin, music classes, knitting, clay and so much more. Grades four, five and sixth all have specials that are mandatory to take. Fourth graders are lucky to work in woodshop, and fifth graders have the pleasure of the steel drums. The sixth graders all learn and almost master the guitar. Eighth grade every year puts on a wonderful play for the whole school. Past plays have included, Grease, The Wizard of Oz, The Lion King, Toy Story, The Princess Bride, Shrek, Napoleon Dynamite, and School of Rock. Soon there is to be Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! Although students are required to wear dress code clothing (this is not uniforms!) they still are offered dress down days when jeans and T-shirts are allowed. There are so many fun and wonderful things to offer for children at Brookwood School:
