Many of our students are former home schoolers.  We accept students from home, non-public, and public schools.
 
Is financial aid available? 
Brookewood tuition does not cover the total annual cost of educating students, so every student actually receives a partial scholarship.  We grant individual scholarships based on financial need. Parents with multiple students at Brookewood, or its brother school, Avalon, receive a $1,000 sibling discount on tuition. You can find out more about financial aid on the Admissions page. 
 
What is the admission deadline? 
Admission at Brookewood is based on a rolling deadline. Please see the admissions page for more information.

What is the school motto?  
The Brookewood motto is Nolite Timere ("Be not afraid"), a frequent injunction of Pope John Paul II to the world's youth.  It captures both the spirit and goal of the school that a Brookewood student, armed with knowledge and faith, imparted at school and home, and with the grace of God, should not be afraid to go out into the world.
