A Brookside education is different in many ways. In summary, we are committed to smaller class sizes. Younger grades have no more than 12 students. Older grades have no more than 18 students. This allows for a more individualized instructional plan and deeper relationships with teachers and peers. Our instructional choices allow for a rigorous, hands-on education where deep understanding and the ability to communicate effectively are priorities. Every Friday students experience PLUS Days where they are exposed to guest speakers, community service projects, and other unique experiences that allow them to apply the skills and knowledge they’ve learned throughout the week. We also offer specialized programs for students with IEPs, learning disabilities, and the academically gifted.
