BROOKEWOOD SCHOOL'S IDENTITY
Welcome
Welcome to Brookewood School where girls read the classics, sing and recite poetry, explore the world, climb trees, play sports and grow into thriving young women. The Brookewood School is an independent school for girls located in Kensington, Maryland. Students at Brookewood thrive in small classes where teachers have the time and energy to meet the needs of every individual girl. Students excel in a same-sex environment where they are free to explore a low-pressure environment and grow in a community of love and support. Outside the classroom, Brookewood takes advantage of the wide range of educational, cultural, and natural opportunities in the greater Washington, D.C. area.

CommunityAt Brookewood School, we believe that our school should help parents form their daughters into young women who are educated, cultured, pious, cheerful, adventurous, and generous. Because our goal is to help parents raise thriving young women, parent involvement is an important part of the Brookewood lifestyle. We have a supportive Parent Association, but we also have families who organize non-school, community events that students want to attend. We cultivate the spirit of community on campus through our house system. We assign every student to one of our four houses, all of which have individual characters. Each house includes students from every grade level. Middle and high schoolers take on the responsibility of helping younger students fit in and thrive, while elementary school students find a whole family of compassionate “older sisters” who look after their needs. |
