Brook Road Academy is a non-traditional, college-preparatory private school serving grades 7-12. We provide holistic education for a diverse group of students who haven’t been successful in traditional classrooms. To maintain a personalized learning environment, we cap total school enrollment at 50 students. This allows teachers to focus on the individual needs, interests and strengths of our students while building strong relationships with their families.
At Brook Road Academy, learning is about engagement. Our conversational approach helps students gain confidence in expressing their opinions and develop traits of self-advocacy, collaboration, problem solving and leadership that last a lifetime. As a result, students’ GPAs typically increase from previous schools and many move on to higher education.
