Brookewood Faculty

Picture
Brookewood is proud to showcase our teachers, 62% of whom have received advanced degrees or postgraduate certificates. Many of the faculty members have been at Brookewood since its founding in 2006, and they've continued at Brookewood pursuing the work of helping young women build a firm intellect, rich faith life, and adventurous spirit. 

Our foreign language department has won sizable grants three years in a row (2020, 2021, 2022) for their work of teaching the Italian language. 

And our teachers engage in the life of the mind themselves. Many write essays for our Brookewood Magazine, and Assistant Head of School, Cherie Walsh hosts our podcast "The Life of the Mind: Brookewood School."
